Reading the other thread about McCoist's comments on TalkSport, I'm delighted to see how much he is backing the club these days and sticking up for us and promoting us in the media.
I wonder what goes through his mind though when he sees Gerrard doing so well at the club?
Does he think "That could have been me", or does he know deep down that he never had the professionalism and determination that Gerrard has?
Admittedly, McCoist was manager at the worst possible time, when we had a board that was intent on raping the club for every penny it could, and football opponents, aided by the corrupt football authorities in this country who were determined to keep us 'nailed to the floor'.
However, I don't think he helped himself with his Gangnam style dancing, his Karaokes and target practice against his bare arse, followed by his gardening leave escapade.
I just think his overall attitude wasn't one which befits the position of manager of Rangers.
I have mellowed a bit towards him recently because of his stance now, but at the time I was actually pretty pissed off with him.
He had a great opportunity to become an even bigger legend than he already was at the club, but I think his lack of professionalism really let him down. He had the buffer zone of operating in the lower leagues and the perfect opportunity to build a team (and a system) gradually that would be capable of challenging eventually.
I really wish he had been the guy who was in the dugout right now, pushing us towards our legendary 55th title.
His name would have lived forever if he'd only had the right work ethic and attitude.
