Ally McCoist has told Steven Gerrard that he will have an “unbelievable” effect on so many people if he leads Rangers to the title.
The Light Blues are on course to stop Celtic picking up the Scottish Premiership trophy for a record 10th successive time and Gers fans are becoming increasingly excited.
Gerrard’s side are 21 points clear of their Old Firm rivals albeit they have played three games more.
It would be the first top-fight title at Ibrox since 2011, before the club’s well-documented financial collapse from which they emerged in the bottom tier of Scottish football.
And former Rangers manager and striker McCoist believes Gerrard, in his third season as Gers boss, might be surprised at the reaction to a long-awaited title victory in Govan.
Speaking on TalkSport, he 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!
