Grinning from ear to ear, Ally McCoist was embraced by the jubilant Newcastle United fans as they came together to celebrate his special day – and the witty pundit had a clever Celtic-related quip up his sleeve after the spirited sing-along. Recognized for his entertaining commentary on talkSPORT and his larger-than-life personality, the former Rangers legend has won over supporters across the country, including the enthusiastic Geordie faithful who were eager to pay tribute to McCoist before their highly anticipated English Premier League showdown against Manchester City. The Toon Army gathered in full force at a bustling bar just outside of St James’ Park, where McCoist and his co-commentator Darren Fletcher were stationed in the lively commentary booth, adding to the electric atmosphere of the event.
As McCoist marked his 62nd birthday on a bustling Tuesday evening, the booming tannoy system encouraged all patrons to chime in and offer their warm wishes to the beloved pundit. With a twinkle in his eye, McCoist graciously acknowledged the crowd and playfully remarked, “Thank you so much, everyone. Your kind words mean the world to me. Although, I couldn’t help but notice two Celtic supporters in the back who remained oddly silent during the celebration. Come on, lads, we might have to escort them out! Just kidding, of course – let’s keep the peace and enjoy the night together.” With laughter ringing out, the Newcastle United fans continued to revel in the festive ambiance, united by their shared admiration for the charismatic McCoist and the thrill of the upcoming match.
