Football Quote by Ally McCoist

“Pressure does strange things to people. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have swapped anything. In many ways when the club was going through that period I was probably quite happy it was me, because I knew Rangers as well as anybody could have at that particular time.” quote by Ally McCoist
