SCOTTISH football pundit Ally McCoist has been fined after being caught speeding twice in a single day.
The Ranger star, who turned 61 on Saturday, pleaded guilty to the offences in Dumbarton Justice of the Peace court on Tuesday.
He was accused of breaching the speed limit on two occasions on January 6.
McCoist pleaded guilty to breaching Arrochar’s 30mph speed limit by travelling at 55mph, and the 30mph limit at Tarbet by travelling at 48mph.
STV reported that McCoist was fined a total of £510, £200 for the Tarbet offence and £310 for the incident at Arrochar.
He was given one month to pay, and also issued with four penalty points on his licence.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
