Foul mouth Ally McCoist let his true feelings show at the Open Goal event at the Glasgow Hydro.
Celtic’s title win number 56 has turned out to be one too many for many across Scotland with McCoist as bitter as they come.
He may be England’s favourite co-commentator and pundit but there is another side to McCoist that his media chums won’t go near.
Now and then it surfa6ces. In March 2024 he boasted on TalkSPORT about his intention to commit hate crimes in a match against Celtic.
Of course, after a token 24 hours of media interest the issue was dropped. Just like Phil Clement’s title challenge and Jack Butland’s England hopes.
Recently McCoist has been roaring conspiracy about a number of things.
Ranging from SPFL Premiership fixture announcements to the use of VAR.
On Friday night he was in front of a boisterous audience with the Open Goal crew.
CELTIC HAS BROKEN MCCOIST
Much of those in attendance had celebrated Celtic’s title win against Hearts, an issue that McCoist has yet to comment on.
When McCoist was introduced the chant of CHAM PEE ONEES went up and the mask slipped.
Using his favourite F word McCoist commented on the empty Celtic trophy room during his playing days.
In 1998 he left Rangers with Celtic champions of Scotland.
There were five barren seasons at Celtic but the big shiny cup won in 1967 pushed Dave Murray into the decisions that liquidated Rangers.

Three trophy wins plus a Petrofac Cup success in 14 years have left McCoist a broken man.
Celtic’s domestic domination has highlighted that since 1988 under Murray there has barely been a trophy won honestly by either Ibrox club.
McCoist managed both.
His CV includes cup defeats to Falkirk, Queen of the South Inverness Caley Thistle, Alloa, Raith Rovers and Falkirk, Not really something to crack gags about.
Especially when your players were staying at Trump Turnberry to prepare to face Stranraer.
His latest outburst will be put down to passion. Playing to the audience, showing that he is one of the lads.
The truth is that McCoist and others can’t handle a level playing field. Where Celtic are the biggest and most successful club in Scotland.
His anger is another source of joy for Celtic fabs after a difficult season ended up with two more trophies.
