As a Celtic fan growing up in McCoist prime, I can safely say he’s one of the best strikers I’ve seen in the flesh, even if he did play for THEM

[iainc]

What made him Super Ally was a mixture of talent, competent teammates, Walter Smith and the simple fact Rangers was in his blood. Playing for the badge meant something to him. He didn't view Rangers as simply a stepping stone to something bigger as so many players do these days.

As a Celtic fan I'd say he is up there amongst the best, Scottish football deserves more recognition

[directionhome]

McCoist a more intelligent player that he is given credit for. his spacial awareness and ability to roll a defender was next level. Put in the hard graft but was one of the most natural finishers I’ve ever seen. An absolute gentleman by all accounts and pretty much the reason I’ve spent 38 years of my life obsessing over the sport.

As a Celtic fan I hated this man but for a good reason. I would also have loved it if he played for us..For the same reason. Great player

[rossmacdonald]

Even as a Celtic fan I can appreciate how good he was. A brilliant and clever striker and passionate about his club

[scottw.]

Even as a Dons fan i have to take my hat off to McCoist. He was a tremendous striker, he always had the knack of being in the right place at the right time and it never mattered how many chances he might've spurned in a game, there would always be that one or even two that he'd end up taking. He never allowed his head to go down, he always maintained the belief in himself that he could score. A truly incredible striker.

[KINGMONKEY]

The guy was quite simply the best. A goal machine and universally loved by more than just Rangers fans. A gentleman and someone who gave us so many special moments.

[GioMarron]

I always remember him scoring more goals than anyone in Europe and UEFA trying to change the rules to shaft him out of the golden boot by saying a goal on the continent was worth 2.5 times a goal in Scotland
There was such an outcry against this, not just in Scotland but from down south and in Europe that he won the golden boot twice

Not even a Gers fan but I loved watching him play

[No.SPEAKINGTHETRUTH]

Ally McCoist was one of the greatest finishers of all time, right foot, left foot, ariel headers, diving headers and acrobatic ability to score unbelievable goals aswell . A great striker hasn't just got supreme finishing ability but the spacial awareness was 2nd to none. Furthermore he had the ability to beat defenders even though he wasn't rapidly quick and also his link-up play was phenomenal, which was highlighted by the arrival of Mark Hately which saw a partnership evolve into something that was almost telepathic. I know big Hately was known for his flick on headers but he also had a great understanding with McCoist on where he would be and where McCoist would pass the ball on to him and that produced a remarkable partnership between them. All you need to know is, when a football player of the genuis of the GREAT Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne says that your the BEST FINISHER HE'S EVER SEEN then that speaks volumes and carries an enormous weight due to the stature of Gazza, then who are any of us mere mortals to say different. Super Ally wasn't called super for And his goal scoring record speaks for itself, mic

A very underrated stiker. At his prime he was one of the best in the world. Over head kicks, headers, diving headers, volleys, free kicks, left or right. Just an all-rounder. Brilliant talent.🙏

[madmacmacmad]

He was called a poacher who scored a lot of tap ins 30 years ago. Today he'd be called an intelligent player who reads the game and knows exactly the right place to be to maximise his success of scoring and people would be paying a lot of money for that.. After winning the golden boot twice, they changed the rules so someone from Scotland couldn't win it....despite the fact Rangers were one game off the Champions League final in that period..

[MassiveHappyClapper]

Super Ally was the best striker Rangers ever had. A real Rangers legend.

[McConnachy]

Ally is a likeable person, his type of character took away some of the bitterness that the fans of other clubs and Rangers have, I dont mean just Celtic, but other top Scottish sides

[iamrage]

definitely up there, in the same vein as shearer, fowler, cole, sherringham....all legends

[henrymcvey]

Celtic fan here. He was very very good.

[pieceofgosa]

Ally is a great example of a player that's really effective in a good team. He couldn't win a game on his own for you but if you were a team that created chances, Coisty would put them away. As honest a footballer as you'll ever see & just a genuinely nice bloke.

[Orvilp-wxbr]

Rangers and Scotland Great. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[doasyoulikefawkes]

He was an interesting and intelligent player. Got better as he got older. Would have made it today. No worries..

[dmore]

Henry, Messi, Ronaldo & Lewandowski. The only other players to win the European Golden Boot in successive seasons. I think that says it all for the level McCoist was at during the early nineties. A natural goal scorer who knew how to position himself to always find the ball and score. Not only that but superb break away movement, a great turn/swivel in tight spaces and the abilities to score screamers and acrobatic efforts too. I think if you added the level of training and fitness in today's game to Ally's natural talents, he'd be frightening.
