Rangers legend Ally McCoist could reportedly appear in this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Fresh from receiving his OBE from Prince William last Wednesday, the Scottish football icon is believed to be a target for the show's bosses as they finalise their line-up for 2024's edition of the programme.
The Mirror claims that the 62-year-old is in 'advanced talks' over potentially heading Down Under for the Jungle.
With only a few weeks to go until the launch of the latest series, McCoist has previously turned down the opportunity to go on I'm A Celeb TWICE - in 2019 and 2022.
The report claims that bosses are 'very hopeful' that they'll have the Pundit of the Year included in this year's line-up.
A source quoted in the piece, says: “Ally has such a huge fan base thanks to his years of commentating and punditry, plus his long stint on A Question of Sport.

"He’d be great for the jungle - as his wife and kids have been telling him forever - so everyone is really hopeful that this will be the year.”
Super Ally explained why he rejected the chance to go on the reality TV show in 2022.
He said: “I'm not a fan of cockroaches! The bit where you jump out of the helicopter or plane at the start - I'd like to do that. But then the rest is downhill.
"You don't really know until you're there, but I actually think being in the coffin with the rats and snakes - from where I'm sitting right now - I don't think that would bother me that much."
McCoist would join a long list of former football stars to appear on the show if he agrees to appear.
Ex-players Wayne Bridge, Razor Ruddock and Jimmy Bullard have all appeared in past years, while legendary manager Harry Redknapp won the show in 2018.
