I hope he doesn't quit. He'll look daft after his "we don't do walking away" line that we all bought into.

I took it that he was talking as a fan rather than a manager, but I know what you mean, it will be used as yet more ammo by the shitpigs

ALLY McCOIST is set to quit Rangers after discovering a plot to get rid of him.

Record Sport believes that even though it will break his heart to leave, the 49-year-old is in an impossible position. And late last night sources said McCoist will be gone within 48 hours after confronting new owner Charles Green over plans to oust him.

It was stressed that it was only his loyalty to the club and the fans that prevented him from walking immediately on finding out earlier this week he has no place in Green’s blueprint for the future.

But even then McCoist’s first reaction was to ask himself if there was anything more he could do that might help the club he loves.

However, according to one former director, the manager is now so disgusted by what he’s discovered he cannot remain.

And the blame is being laid at the door of one man, Green, who is about to become owner of the newco Rangers.

The ex-board member claims even though Green spoke highly of McCoist in public and to his face he had made up his mind to change manager.

And our source also insisted the manager, the one man who has held the players, staff and fans together over the past traumatic six months, has been sickened by the lack of transparency surrounding his club.

McCoist thought constantly about his position but remained because he believed Rangers needed a measure of continuity no matter how small to get through the heartache.

Even after the rejection of the CVA proposal by HMRC on Tuesday, McCoist was willing to do what was right for the club and the only thing he’d ever demanded in return was honesty from those with the power to buy and sell Rangers.

He doesn’t believe there has been enough transparency or respect for the fans. With the board dismantled and disgraced Craig Whyte absent McCoist felt it was his responsibility to try to lead by example.

But our source believes McCoist feels he has been let down by Green, who will begin the process of buying Rangers out of liquidation after today’s creditors’ meeting.

For £5.5million he will get the lot – but not the manager.

Our source said: “Honesty, dignity and courage have always been the driving forces in McCoist’s make-up but he doesn’t think those qualities have been in abundance outwith the players, staff and fans.

“Even so he was convinced it was his duty to do everything he could to help Rangers survive but to be told his dismissal had already been spoken about by Green has left him disgusted.”

Rangers players, even those who are about to abandon the Ibrox ship, will be stunned.

They regarded McCoist as the one steadying influence in turbulent waters.

The fans, too, came to see another side of him in his first year as a manager. He echoed their concerns ever since Rangers fell into administration and would-be owners started circling the club.

But now his short reign appears to be over and although Green has charmed his way into a position of power he might not have the vocabulary to talk his way out of this mess.
