Ally McCoist bites on Rangers vs Celtic stadium jibe

Ally McCoist insists Ibrox is a nicer ground than Celtic Park as he ranted 'our stadium is miles better than yours' live on the radio this morning.

The Rangers legend was having none of Alan Brazil and Shebahn Ahearne's assertions that Ibrox could be doing with a touch-up or two.

Instead, the pundit of the year hit back by having a go at the current state of Parkhead.

Away fans will return for the derby fixture this weekend for the first time since 2023. Around 2,500 Gers fans will be in attendance.

The derby was a point of discussion on the talkSPORT airwaves earlier today, as the trio also spoke about Manchester United's ambitions of creating a new 100,000-seater stadium.

This prompted Brazil to have a swipe at Ibrox - with Super Ally biting straight back.

Brazil said: "It's about time Ibrox had something done there, isn't it? New gates or something?"

McCoist joked: "That stadium's okay. It's the team!"

Brazil replied: "Oh come on, don't you agree? It's falling to bits. It's falling to bits."

Aherne added: "It needs a lick of paint."

McCoist started his rant, saying: "Come on! Our stadium is miles better than yours!

"You've still got scaffolding up, you know with the floodlights, the boys cannae see the game, man.

"What's that stadium all about, Celtic Park?

"Floodlights 1901 up and the boys cannae see with a bloody Gustav Eiffel floodlight in my face."

Ahearne concluded: "At least you didn't bite."
