‘The decline in the club – on and off the pitch – since they won the league and were beaten on penalties in a Europa League final, after beating RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund… the decline hurts more than anything,’ a despondent McCoist said.
Speaking on talkSPORT prior to Ferguson’s return, Rangers legend McCoist named a former Three Lions midfielder as his first pick to get the job – but it wasn’t Gerrard.
Ally McCoist admits a Chelsea and England legend was his dream choice to become the next Rangers manager before the appointment of Barry Ferguson.
On Sunday night, Rangers sacked Philippe Clement following a disastrous run of form that has left the club trailing arch-rivals Celtic by 13 points in the Scottish Premiership.
Before Clement’s dismissal, Liverpool and England legend Steven Gerrard was being tipped for a return to the Ibrox dugout, especially after leaving Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq in January.
