FANS ERUPT IN RAGE AS ALLY McCOIST FACES SKY SPORTS AXE DEMANDS AFTER CELTIC MASTERCLASS
Celtic’s stunning performance in Glasgow has sparked a furious reaction among supporters, with fans demanding that Ally McCoist be dropped from Sky Sports immediately after comments he made following the match.
The former Rangers striker found himself at the centre of controversy after offering a surprisingly dismissive assessment of Celtic’s impressive display. Rather than focusing on the quality, intensity and attacking confidence shown by the Scottish champions, McCoist appeared to downplay the significance of the performance.
His comments quickly became a major talking point among Celtic supporters, many of whom felt the Sky Sports pundit had failed to give the team the credit they deserved.
McCoist reportedly questioned whether Celtic’s dominant display should be viewed as a genuine statement of intent, suggesting that the opposition had made life easier for Brendan Rodgers’ side. He also appeared to play down the individual performances that had helped Celtic produce such an impressive result.
Those remarks did not go down well.
Social media was soon flooded with angry reactions from Celtic fans, with some accusing McCoist of deliberately refusing to acknowledge how good Celtic had been.
“Why is McCoist so determined not to give Celtic credit?” one supporter wrote.
Another added: “That was a masterclass and somehow Ally still found something negative to say.”
A third fan demanded: “Sky Sports need to drop him. Enough is enough.”
The backlash intensified when Gary Neville’s response began circulating online. Neville appeared surprised by the level of criticism surrounding McCoist’s assessment, with his reaction becoming another major talking point among football supporters.
For Celtic, however, the controversy has done little to overshadow what was an outstanding night in Glasgow. Their performance was built on sharp passing, relentless pressure and an attacking approach that left their opponents struggling to cope.
The result gave Celtic supporters plenty to celebrate, while the debate surrounding McCoist has created an entirely different conversation away from the pitch.
There is no suggestion that Sky Sports has officially decided to remove McCoist from its coverage, but the growing online campaign demonstrates just how strongly some Celtic supporters have reacted to his remarks.
McCoist remains an experienced and highly recognisable voice in football broadcasting, and his opinions have regularly generated debate. However, this latest episode has placed him under particularly intense scrutiny.
For Celtic fans, the message appears clear: they believe their team’s performance deserved praise rather than criticism.
And with Gary Neville’s reaction now going viral alongside the backlash, the debate surrounding Ally McCoist is unlikely to disappear anytime soon.
What began as one pundit’s post-match assessment has quickly developed into a major talking point among Celtic supporters — and fans are now waiting to see whether Sky Sports responds to the growing pressure.
