My Take
Ally McCoist is one of those rare figures who scored goals for fun and then somehow became even more beloved with a microphone in hand. What strikes me is how seamlessly he moved from Rangers striker to manager to one of the warmest, sharpest voices in football punditry. The MBE is fitting, but the real achievement is the affection people hold for him across decades. A poacher's instinct is talent; staying genuinely likeable in the spotlight for that long is character. I find his career a quiet lesson that charm and longevity are their own kind of greatness.
