Rangers: Fans discuss Ally McCoist’s strike against Old Firm rivals
Rangers fans were discussing former player Ally McCoist’s strike against their Old Firm rivals, which took place over 34 years ago.
His goal came during a bonkers encounter at Ibrox, where Gers drew 4-4 with their arch-rivals despite going 2-0 and 3-1 down in the game. The Gers then went 4-3 ahead, only to concede an equaliser to their foes. McCoist scored a brilliant solo goal as he picked up the ball midway through the opposition half before beating two men and slotting into the bottom left-hand corner (via Rangers).
One fan called him a ‘natural number 11’.

He enjoyed a quite sensational career with the Light Blues as he scored 355 goals across all competitions, making him the club’s all-time leading goalscorer (via Gersnet). He also notched up 21 goals in Europe, making him their leading marksman across fixtures played within the continent. Supporters remembered the moment with fondness as they took to Twitter and reacted to footage of the strike. Here is a selection of tweets:
