I suspect today's poll won't be close, but these are 2 goals I wanted to include in this daily series. The theme today is Super Sub Ally, probably the best 2 goals Ally McCoist scored for Rangers after coming off the bench. And both were scored during a difficult period for our goalscoring legend.
Goal 1 is from 1990. Rangers had 3 top class strikers, and manager Graeme Souness had settled on the Hateley - Johnston partnership as his first choice. Ally even earned the nickname "The Judge" as he spent so long on the bench. Around Christmas that year, Aberdeen visited Ibrox, for a vital game between the two top teams in the table. Because of an injury, Ally came off the bench in the first half determined to take his opportunity. And within a few minutes of the second half he scored this brilliant goal. He scored another one, although we blew our two goal lead late on in a 2-2 draw.
Goal 2 is an iconic goal from 1993. Ally was recovering from a broken leg and was a semi fit substitute in the League Cup final against Hibs at Parkhead. At 1-1 he came off the bench and within a few minutes he scored this memorable overhead kick to win the trophy. Roy of the Rovers stuff.
2 goals by a truly great goalscorer. 2 spectacular finishes. 2 goals wearing Number 14. Admittedly, one far more famous and significant than the other.
But which goal was the better one?
