😡 McCoist Blasts ‘Shocking’ Rangers Signings After Roma Loss
Rangers legend Ally McCoist did not hold back in his scathing assessment of the club’s performance and recent transfer policy following the disappointing 2-0 defeat to Roma in the Europa League.
Speaking on TNT Sports, a visibly frustrated McCoist expressed that the club’s recruitment has been “shocking” and questioned the quality of players brought in over recent windows. The loss to Roma, which all but ended Rangers’ European campaign, was seen by the pundit as the latest evidence of a squad that is simply not good enough.
The Scathing Verdict
McCoist focused his ire on the overall poor standard, with reports suggesting he singled out the performance of Youssef Chermiti, an expensive summer acquisition. The striker, who arrived with big expectations, has struggled to find the net, with McCoist reportedly saying he was “miles off it” against the Italian side.
The legendary striker’s major point was simple and brutal: “Have Rangers signed anybody that is better than what they’ve let go? I don’t think they have.” This collective failure in player recruitment was the central theme of his criticism, extending beyond just one player to implicate the entire transfer process.
January Plea
While he didn’t explicitly name all three players in the most recent reports, the overall poor displays of multiple new signings—including Chermiti—led to a clear demand. However, McCoist was quick to temper expectations for the January transfer window, arguing that the problems run so deep that one window won’t be enough. He suggested the new manager, Danny Rohl, would require “three windows” to properly fix the current squad’s issues, which involve not just signing new talent but also needing to “balance the books and get some of them going in the opposite direction.”
The legendary figure’s emotional reaction highlighted the widespread concern among the fanbase: that the current squad is “weak,” and that the quality of signings is simply not at the level required to compete.
