Ally McCoist has finally delivered his response to Roy Keane after the former Manchester United captain took a cheeky swipe at Rangers during the Scottish Premiership title celebrations in June.
Keane refused to offer Rangers a full congratulations after their title success, instead insisting that Celtic would “come back” and challenge them again. The comment quickly became another chapter in the long-running rivalry between the Glasgow giants.Months later, Celtic’s demolition of Rangers in the Old Firm has given McCoist the perfect opportunity to revisit Keane’s words.
Following the emphatic result, the Rangers legend appeared to remind Keane that his prediction had suddenly gained plenty of relevance. Celtic’s dominant display exposed Rangers’ weaknesses and gave the Hoops supporters plenty to celebrate.McCoist, one of Rangers’ most recognisable former players and a respected voice around Scottish football, has never been shy about defending his club.
His latest response carries extra weight because it comes after Celtic produced a statement performance in one of the biggest fixtures of the season.Keane’s four-word message in June was clearly intended as a warning to Rangers. After the latest Old Firm result, McCoist now has the perfect opportunity to throw the banter back in his direction.The rivalry has once again delivered drama on and off the pitch, with Keane’s prediction now providing fresh ammunition for McCoist and Celtic fans alike.
