Ally McCoist in Rangers hiding, claim talkSPORT colleagues

Ally McCoist was posted missing on talkSPORT this morning, as staff from the radio station revealed they couldn't get ahold of the Rangers legend.

It follows on from last night's drama at Ibrox where Philippe Clement's men were stunned in a shocking Scottish Cup defeat at the hands of Queen's Park. 

In what has gone down as one of the biggest ever upsets in the competition, Callum Davidson's Championship minnow prevailed thanks to the heroics at either end from goalscorer Sebastian Drozd and keeper Callum Ferrie.

McCoist - a regular on talkSPORT's Breakfast Show - was nowhere to be seen this morning though, as Jeff Stelling, Gabby Agbonlahor and Shebahn Aherne desperately tried to get the thoughts of the pundit about the disastrous result for his old side.

Agbonlahor said: "I've been trying to look for Ally's landline number. Where you at? He’s not answering his phone, his mobile. I'm getting his house number, I want to ring him."

Host Stelling added: "If anybody can spot Ally McCoist, do let us know. Somebody actually said, I've just delivered flowers. And I can tell you Ally McCoist was not hiding in there. He'll be keeping his head down.

"One of the biggest ever humiliations, isn't it? Clement must be under serious pressure."

Agbonlahor responded: "Unforgivable."

Aherne continued: "Going into the game there was a lot of relief and it felt a lot of fans were behind Philippe Clement.

"They got to the knockout stage of the Europa League.

"But they're 13 points behind Celtic in the league and now their worst-ever cup defeat at Ibrox.

"There's one job when you're in charge of a club in Glasgow and that's to beat the other half.

"Answer the phone Ally, we're waiting for you."
