Ally has had to do too many of these recently, sadly.

[Gheorghe_Hagi]

It's amazing how well he speaks under the circumstances.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

I was thinking about Coisty the other day. The poor man has had to do too many of these tributes of late.

Wonderful words nonetheless.

 

[Bluebeard]

What a spokesman and statesman ally is. I don’t know how he can control his emotions at times. Like all of us he has lost so many, I remember him speaking about Cooper, Walter, Jardine, the list is sadly growing. So moving to hear he was with Andy at the very end along with bomber. Class

 

[Brant Hurley]

Ally is a wonderful ambassador, no matter how tragic the situation. Such an appropriate tribute to his mate.

 

[Number Six]

Ally McCoist is an absolute credit to our football club, an absolute legend and great words again from that man. He’s unfortunately had to speak like that far too often this last year or so

 

[The Hooded Claw]

Welled up there watching that. Nice words for a Rangers Legend

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Absolutely Heartbreaking listening to Ally doing another one of these

 

[Crouchy]

He really is super ally.

 

[Rangerista]

Wonderful words from Ally about his friend The Goalie.

 

[Simply a Bear]

Say what you want about Ally as a player or manager, but as a human he is first class. Always articulate, even when inside he must be hurting. Some nice words there about Goram.

 

[Myc74]

Ally never fails to find the right words in these tragic situations.
Lovely tribute to his pal

 

[sheddensbear]

Goram was let out the hospice on Thursday to spend his last 48 hours at home. The Rangers family have had a terrible 6 months.

 

[Sherbet Dab]

I love that man.

 

[Broxmeister]

Not ashamed to say there were tears when i listened to that. What a credit to our club Ally is. God bless and rest easy Goalie.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Lovely from Ally and nice to hear Andy had family and friends like Ally and John there at the end.

It must have been heartbreaking for them.

Life sucks at times.

 

[Chinggis_could_I_khant]

TBH, can't bring myself to watch it. Too many childhood heroes are dying.

 

[nithbear]

Ally shows great dignity, humility, and bravery; to speak so well publicly when inside he must be raw and tearing up with grief.
The knowledge that both he and Bomber were with Andy in his final moments is of great comfort to us as a support.

 

[macallan]

Tremendous words from ally.

 

[RangersRoss]

Great words as always!

 

[brand69]

Super Ally.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

I’m not saying this to put anyone else down or anything like that at all, but it says a lot that Ally, as busy as he is these days, has been there right at the end with both Walter and The Goalie. Such a popular guy who has represented our club with great distinction through some really difficult times lately. As hard as these times are it reminds me of how lucky we are to have a guy like him attached to Rangers.

Still thinking of the big guy and his family. A giant of the game gone far too soon.

 

[FhillBear]

Can barely listen to it, the whole situation is really, truly awful. Been too many of these types of thing in recent months. Desperately sad stuff.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Losing Walter, Jimmy Bell and the Goalie within 12 months is really hard on everyone who follows Rangers but it must be exceptionally hard for Ally who was close to all 3.

 

[TQ3]

It must have gave the Goalie a wee lift seeing Super and Bomber by his side. Real genuine friends, as well as great team mates.

 

[tapender]

My god Coisty we all knew you had incredible strength, courage and bravery as a player but how you have stepped up in the most trying of times is truly remarkable.

Mr Struth will be up there with the boys saying Ally MCoist a true Ranger if ever there was one.

 

[exiled bluenose]

Lovely tribute from Super Ally to his friend. Very moving.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

Super has had to do so many of these of late and it speaks volume of how special a human being and person he is himself, I love him to bits and I am so proud of him, that was a lovely tribute to his old pal.

No more suffering or pain now for The Goalie, sleep well.

 

[Pirlo]

Ally’s brilliant at speaking from the heart in times like these, the guys such a natural. I just wish he wasn’t having to do so many of these tributes lately.

 

[TheFrenchTank]

Super Ally, what a man.

A credit to our beloved club.

 

[AlanD]

So tragic.

As Ally says im sure we can take comfort in knowing Andy is free from pain and in a much better place.

Sleep Easy Goalie

 

[TCWNS1872]

Class from Ally as usual. I’m sure Andy would’ve greatly appreciated him and Bomber being by his side.

Still numbed by the news.

 

[Disraeli]

Ally is a wonderful ambassador for Rangers. A man of tremendous dignity and humanity who always articulates himself so well.

 

[GourockBlue50]

A great tribute from Ally.

 

[rfcphil]

Well done Ally.
That took great courage.

Sleep at ease, The Goalie.

 

[Allysgoldenboot]

Ally McCoist is one very very special human being!

Dignity and class personified.

 

[Coruña Loyal]

I fail to understand how there are people still doubting this man's commitment to our club.

He played, managed, stayed through thick and thin. Gave always his best and yet when he's not working for the club in any capacity, looks after former team mates in the most tragic of circumstances.

 

[tumsheeheed]

Lovely words paying tribute to his pal nice to hear he was with him along with Bomber and his son Danny and Miriam he will be sadly missed but he’s left us with some wonderful memories.

 

[dt17]

Ally always speaks so well.

Slightly off topic but is John Brown still employed by Rangers in any capacity?

 

[si72]

How Super keep holds of it,is beyond me.Right there till the end

 

[Barca Bear]

Very moving from Ally. Tearful.

I was in the car later and Jim White aired an interview with Andy’s son Danny.
Again, so sad listening to the lad.
He managed a week up here with Andy’s grandkids before the end.
Said Rangers are organising the funeral and thinks it could be 18th or 19th.
Rip goalie.

 

[stonewall Jackson]

Classy and poignant words from a real Rangers man.

 

[Texas ranger]

Super has had to do so many of these of late and it speaks volume of how special a human being and person he is himself, I love him to bits and I am so proud of him, that was a lovely tribute to his old pal.

No more suffering or pain now for The Goalie, sleep well.

Another timely reminder to those of us living our daily lives to take nothing for granted and make the most of every day we get.

As for Ally McCoist. I really can’t think of a better Ranger, all things considered. He is the epitome of Rangers F.C.

Always a great speaker is Ally

 

[MDM]

Ally is the kind of person that I'd love to see being honoured. Not just for services to football, but to humanity in general. An MBE isn't enough.....

 

[Alfie shhh!]

Much love for Ally McCoist. He comforts me in times like these.

 

[Millger]

Nice one Ally from one Rangers Legend about another first class

 

[Mackania]

Well done, Ally. Very sad subject matter but you're a privilege to have as a club ambassador.

As Ally himself would say.

Absolutely, spot on.

 

[TheDerryend]

Ally McCoist is the epitome of a Rangers man. Stepped up to the plate as he usually does, good and bad times.
