Ignore the rumours, Ally McCoist is going nowhere

IT would be putting it mildly to say that there's a twitchiness about Ally McCoist's future as the manager of Rangers.

If McCoist goes quiet for a few hours – if he isn't seen around the club, or doesn't return messages promptly – some people are quick to get very jumpy. Where is he? Why hasn't anyone heard from him? What if it means he's quit, walked out, handed in his notice? According to the grapevine, McCoist is so scunnered with Rangers that he's only one more slap in the face away from resigning. Every five minutes on the social websites someone in the know will tell you he's gone.
