Fans divided over Ally McCoist's commentary during Arsenal and Man City clash as Rangers hero sparks

Publish date: 2021-09-09

ALLY McCOIST is considered one of the best football pundits and commentators in the UK.

The Rangers hero is loved across Scotland and England for his hilarious and down-to-earth personality while on-air.

Even many Celtic supporters have confessed their admiration for the former Rangers hitman, who is the Ibrox club's all-time top goalscorer.

He's one of the busiest pundits in the land with him being a regular on TalkSPORT with pals Alan Brazil and Laura Woods most mornings.

McCoist isn't short of games to cover too as he's a regular on ITV, BT Sport, Sky Sports and Viaplay.

But last night he was on Amazon Prime duties for the huge Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's men came out on top to win 3-1 thanks to goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland.

The win for City has blown the Premier League title race wide open as they leapfrogged Mikel Arteta's Gunners with three points at the Emirates.

The two sides are now level on points but City are ahead on goal-difference and Arsenal have a game in hand.

And fans watching the match reckon it wasn't the result that McCoist wanted as they believe the Rangers legend was showing bias towards Arteta's men.

They took to Twitter to voice their fury at the man on co-comms duties.

Somebody tweeted: "Ally McCoist was practically willing Arsenal to beat City. He wasn’t even trying to hide it!"

One fan claimed: "Ally McCoist had is Arsenal underpants on tonight. Commentary was so bias!"

Another watching the match said: "Ally McCoist’s commentary was shocking towards City. Hardly has a good word to say about their achievements."

While another commented: "Ally McCoist is fuming the little secret arsenal fan.. been waffling the whole game.."

Not everyone had the same views though and many still hailed the Rangers legend for his work on-air.
