Alan Brazil derails Ally McCoist with Rangers ref dig as Ibrox hero left stewing live on radio

Ally McCoist reckons there's much more to the Scottish Premiership title race than the two derbies to come between Rangers and Celtic.

McCoist though wasn't quite having that. When asked if the fate of the trophy hinges on that showdown next month, he said: "It will go a lot further than that! I'm telling you right now, I don't think you can put your hand on your heart and be convinced about Celtic and Rangers winning all their other games.
