ALLY MCCOIST reckons Steven Gerrard could be caught off-guard by the 'unbelievable' impact a title win will have on Rangers fans this term.
The Light Blues extended their lead at the top of the Premiership to 21 points at the weekend as they clinched a 16th successive league win away to Aberdeen and Celtic were held at home by Hibernian.
Rangers have played three games more than Neil Lennon's side this term but remain firmly on course to lift the top flight title and end their decade-long wait for league success.
McCoist was assistant manager to Walter Smith the last time Rangers clinched the crown and the Ibrox legend knows how significant a moment it would be for the club and the supporters if the Gers can cross the winning line this season.
McCoist said: "I'm telling you right now he will be thinking he is in the biggest and best job on the planet because he is probably, maybe six weeks away.
"If he didn't realise, he is hopefully six weeks away from realising the effect that he is going to have on so many people. And it is going to be unbelievable.
"And I hope that Steven reaches that position and I would imagine that even he might be a little bit surprised about the effect he has on so many people if and when he crosses that line."
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!
