Fan Debate Old Firm Special | with Ally McCoist, Chris Sutton and fans from Rangers and Celtic 

In danger of diluting the Old Firm brand by having calm, sensible and articulate fans on display. For the next one, I think the panel should be randomly selected from the streets of Ardrossan and Coatbridge, and fired up on free Buckie and Mad Dog for a few hours prior to filming.

As a Celtic fan, I have respect for Ally as a commentator and pundit - I genuinely enjoy listening to him. Dare I say the only considered, non-bias ex rangers pundit…

I like McCoist he's a realist and always shows Celtic the respect they deserve

Sutton and McCoist are superb together and great ambassadors for Scottish football. I'm a fan of neither Celtic or Rangers but their stories and discussions are really good with the humour added too. Quality.

Nice to see the lads from huddle breakdown and 20 min tims as well as Paul 👌

Brilliant to be involved guys. Sorry about our Rangers counterparts being so patterless!

Celtic contributers certainly outdressing their Rangers conterparts on this occasion also, particularly the guy who wore his Rangers pajamas at the back

First off max respect to Chris and Ally for being frenimes lol and the panel of fans being respectful to each other over the respected points of debit I am the type of Celtic fan who respects our opponents you are only as strong as your closest rival and Rangers coming up from the 3rd division all the way to a beedi rattling Europa League final is amazing therefore the work Ange has done from ground zero is also amazing to topple that squad and instil Celtic dominance is the stuff Celtic fans dreamed of if we can continue to progress and break records it obviously is outstanding I feel it's a bit disrespectful to say it wont be that big a deal from a club who claim to be the worlds most successful football club it is dismissive of there opponents and the work that has been undertaken by Celtic Rangers are facing the same style of rebuild at the end of this season with the possible departure of 10 players lets see how Beale closes the Gap that is evident when he has his own chance at recruitment because from where I'm looking it's more a canyon than a gap Celtic as eluded too will not stand still and the value of Anges recruitment is there for all to see and will be highlighted with record breaking transfer fees when the players move on ultimately leaving us progressing to the tune of hundreds of millions it remains to be seen if Beale can attract that type of unrefined gem to Ibrox and turn rough diamonds into sparkling prospects I don't think he has the draw of Ange and his style of play coaching and experience of untapped markets should Ange stay at Celtic I think this is the beginning of a golden age for Celtic where we will see the advent of the Celtic group with Celtic buying clubs in Ireland Australia as well as other locations to meet the demand of our Global fan base I also think we will see the launch of a Global app accessing untold millions for the club just as a conservative prediction I would say a global app showing all Celtic games at 10£ a month could see 600k buys accessing 6 million a month and 72 million a year so we can pull our self of that sky TV teat that spews forth sour milk and undervalues our product .

Brilliant from the Overlap having us Old Firm teams represented. We need a part 2!!!!

Laudrup,Gazza,Hateley, Mccoist, Albertz rangers have had some wonderful players

The Celtic fans cracking jokes having a laugh the Rangers fans biting to everything getting wound up 🤣🤣🤣

The English rangers fan was the only one that looked like he could have a laugh the rest sat there raging the whole time

To be fair unless you’ve lived in Scotland as someone from England or elsewhere, you wouldn’t understand how passionate they are about football. All best in the future for Scottish football :)

Great to see happy friendly rivalry between the two fans - need more of that well done

Celtic fans like Ally . He's a good rep of what decent rangers fans are like .

Well done Celtic fan media, so well represented and direct. The Huddle bhoys brought the brains and the 20 minute Tims brought the pain. Great to listen to both Ally and Chris views, they may grind opposition ears but they're great entertainment. Celtic to win 4-1.

Thanks for having us ✊🏻

Brilliant. Two legends and the fans were sound and made good points.

The ‘debate’ re Kyogo simply isn’t one,Ange brought him in as he knew he would fit his system exactly.And that’s why Ange is the best Manager as well.Has a vision,not stumbling around trying this and that.

they are the new Saint and Greavsie. Sutton does a bit of light hearted trolling, but on commentary he calls it how it is. Funny seeing how great a pals they are. 😂😂

Two different mindsets clearly Celtic a team on the rise and rangers clinging on to anything they can

Roll on Sunday! 🍀

I’m a celtic fan and can’t help admit how likeable ally is. Aye he’s one of them and when it’s old firm day I change my mind for sure haha but he really is a down to earth guy

That lassie was brilliant bamming the rangers fans up 😂

Thanks for having us 👍🏻

Brilliant show! I'm a gers man, after that Aberdeen performance I have 0 hope or expectations for the cup game this weekend but I personaly put that down to the players not the manager. Only available striker being morelos, his head left Rangers a while ago, same with kent. Goldson being our only real defender. Borna and tav are better at attacking than they are at defending. We have too many players that are either injury prone, contract running down or simply not interested like morelos, Kent and kamara. In my head the season is already done, cannot wait for the summer transfer window, if celtic can close a 25point gap in 1 window then we can close a 15 point gap😊 we go again💪🔴⚪️🔵

I think Sutton is underrated, he got man of the match while playing up front, in midfield and at centre back in the same season. One of the best Celtic players since 2000, that’s when I started watching football

Who's the posh English boy? Every Rangers fan dream son?

The irony of Coisty saying Kyogo doesn’t link play up and just wants to get into positions to score goals 😂😂😂

I think that a lot depends on your age. I am old enough to go through the time when that cliché that "Form goes out the window in an old firm game" was true. So as a Celtic fan I am always "hopeful" rather than "confident" regardless of form or recent records.

I would love to have heard the fans being briefed before this and the list words that cannot be said hahaha. This would never have happend 20 years ago. Great to see, well done all involved.

at the risk of a social media backlash, it was great to see a bunch o lads sitting together and have a decent blether without breaking into the usual Glasgow Derby/ Old Firm guff....but hey us Tims won the banter cup nae sweat....lol!!!!

Paul well informed good on him

Good video, well done Overlap 👊

Be interesting to see one for each of the top flights of the home nations give a bit of a spotlight to all

The fans all trying really hard to appear reasonable and balanced 😂😂😂

sutton and mccoist absolute world class

That was a good discussion. Nice to see both sides being respectful with a bit of a laugh thrown in without it turning nasty.

This was class. Love the banter between McCoist and Sutton. Mon the Hoops!!🍀🍀🍀

Thanks for inviting me on the show! Looking forward to the next one 👊🍀

respect to Ally for being a true diplomat, i wish they brought up the fans being back in both grounds who create the fantastic atmosphere of old, like we'll all see in the next old firm game.

Wished they spoke about away fan seat allocations too

They should do one with other clubs on how to close the gap on old firm! Would be interesting to get mccoist and Surtons opinion and the fans

the rangers after giving a big payout to Gio decide it would be good business to get Ally Mc beale signed up for 4 years 😮

Used to hate mccoist as a player cos played for them lot. But as a pundit he is amazing

More of this fan base questions superb more time🎉

Amazing, they managed to get through that without mentioning EBT’s, administration or liquidation despite sally briefly alluding to playing in div3-2 when apparently Celtic should have been winning more trebles

WE NEED MORE OF THIS

As a Rangers fan with a strong rangers/celtic supporting family, it's a shame to see so much bitterness in the comments to this day. I love the banter of the true fans, but the bitterness from some is horrible and must have them twisted inside. Love thy neighbour.

Biggest unasked question out the whole Old Firm debate: Is that an engagement ring she’s wearing?

Wow! Huddle bhoys plus the Tim’s bhoys… so good! Wondering why the Bhoysie bus wasn’t represented…. 🍀🇦🇺😏.

McCoist is such a good pundit. The only time I watch ITV's football without the radio commentary is when he's on. Also I watched an interview with McCoist when I was in New York with American colleagues. They were stunned that I (born in London) could understand him perfectly and they could only pick up one word per sentence.

Brilliant. I think you can see the difference with McCoist and Sutton being somewhat serious here.

Absolutely brilliant watch.

Two great clubs

Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

You need Roy, Gary & Jamie for this over lap

Said this the other day, kyogo and McCoist are very similar in their game play

For the past 14 years rangers objectives has been to stop Celtic winning as little as possible 😂

Sutton was really a great player for Celtic and a great pundit now

Great banter! I just wish Snags from Battle Fever Podcast would let everyone else get a word in edge ways 😂

When is the next one? Cup final coming up

We done Alan - raised the issue of the £’s Gap. I still don’t think that they see it. Some of them with feeble excuses and examples of where The Rangers have ‘done well’ in the recruitment and transfer market…🤯

I was in the East enclosure that day when Murdo McLeod scored that screamer to draw. Brilliant game and I think both sets of fans were happy with the result

Old firm day, I struggle to get to sleep the night before. Normaly wake up between 4am - 6am and can't even bring myself to eat. Beer for breakfast. If we win, work on Monday is forgotten about, if we loose then I go to fkn bed 😂😂😂

Possibly the most special derby in Britain. Also a big fan of the South Wales derby. Some of those regional derbies are the best. The Teeside derby as well

Super Ally ,A true Ranger's Man ,what a striker for the Gers.RFC1 ❤

Celtic fan (which is irrelevant) coisty is a man I've always said I would love to have a beer with, legend of the game and a legend of a guy. Decent fan show 👏

Absolutely love ally he is a gem . 🍀🏆🏆🏆🍀

Anybody saying they'd take Morelos ahead of Kyogo is an absolute idiot. No matter what team you support, Kyogo is 100x the player Morelos has been or ever will be.

Sutton will never be a good spokesperson being so one sided. He should learn from the way Ally can compliment both sides and bring no bias into these talks

There’s no way that wee choad is wearing a europa league final top they got beat in hahahahaha

Hats off to ange sometimes you’ve just got to hold your hands up and accept the opposition has your number. Rangers need to try and rise up to the challenge which is easier said than done because they could go the whole league season with one defeat and he will strengthen again in the summer and try and better that so imo rangers will need near perfection next season to top celtic. Near impossible for beale

Its the passion of the fans that drive our teams forwards and i for one hope it stays with celtic and rangers forever nice to see healthy banter between old players 👏👏

Ally’s point about trebles was silly, we won 4 in a row when sevco were bk in the big boys league

From a celtic man☘️always liked Mcoist 👍🏻

I agree with Ally McCoist (for once) the gap between Celtic & Rangers has closed. I don't feel 100% confident we will beat them every time we play them. Also it will be interesting to see for Scottish football how both teams progress next season in Europe for Scottish football as a whole. That being said, I hope the Mighty Celtic win a treble this year >oo

There is no OldFirm!!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀

Ally and Chris from rivals to real good friends 👌

Sutton & McCoist are a good double act

Chuckled at Alan calling Rangers manager “Mickey”; some wide eye looks from the blue half…

Not old firm. Just a derby now, since 2010

Thanks for having us! HH

Todd cantwell breaks a sweat getting on the parkys bus

Thank God for subtitles!

nice to see QUINNY from sorare on there legend

That rangers fan in the back left corner was so bitter and salty 😂😂😂 it's ok mate there's always next season for yous to bottle another few trophy's 🎉

I love this rivalry. We are so lucky to have it but unfortunately, for some people, they get silly and spoil it. Watching this shows how rivalry should be embraced and enjoyed.

This Is Ibrox absolute heroes. Well done all.

Thought this was Gary’s channel ??😂😂😂

I like the sentiment in this. Fact is, supporters make football. In the case of Celtic and Rangers, and what a lot of people don’t get, is that both sets of supporters actually LOVE to hate each other. Like a marriage gone wrong.

Aye that didny quite work did it lads?

I can see Celtic running up a score

Rangers have a problem and that is that their fans have been calling for Kent to be rested and the wide men to be Sakala and Tillman with Kent held back as the impact player on the bench or dropped altogether. It worked versus St Mirren but failed against Aberdeen so Beale has the dilemma of, "Do I revert back to Kent or persevere with Tillman"? Will he bring Kent back in from the cold or stick to the players whose future lie at Rangers? Kent can sometimes be good against Celtic but his stats just don't stack up. Celtic have a similar dilemma with Abada if fit but I expect Jota to be brought back and Vata showed he can be quite useful if needed, so Celtic have more options in terms of flair and creativity. McCoist mentioned Jack in midfield but as far as I'm aware he's out, is he not?

That flew in i enjoyed that

The morelos and kyogo comparison is nothing short of embarrassing🤣

Both boards of each time will agree, that two strong teams compel each other to improve and ultimately, it could lead to better success in Europe. The rotten mob had a great run last year, so one cannot take that away from them.

Great to see some familar Celtic Podcasters 👍 I am picturing riot police and possibly the army off camera just in case😁 HH✌️

Ally mccoist is the most likeable guy man. Amazing he is so loved even by Celtic supporters.

This was class
