Ally McCoist joked he will watch Rangers’ trip to Old Trafford from behind the couch early next year after witnessing new Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim’s Sporting side dish out a 4-1 hammering of Manchester City in the Champions League.The Ibrox strike legend was on duty as a pundit for TNT Sports in the Portuguese capital earlier in the week for Amorim’s penultimate game in charge of Sporting before moving to the English Premier League giants where he will succeed Erik ten Hag.McCoist will switch to Europa League duty for the broadcaster as he covers the Light Blues clash with Olympiacos in Greece but, as he heaped praise on old rivals Celtic for their victory over RB Leipzig at Parkhead, he discussed games further down the line with Hoops-daft talkSPORT radio sidekick Alan Brazil.Brazil said: “It’s a few weeks away but Rangers go to Old Trafford and Celtic go to Villa.

That’ll be a big few days.”McCoist said: “I’ll be watching that one behind the couch - you can watch it on the couch with a glass of red!

Some of the games coming up are fantastic. Credit to you boys as you’ve given yourself a real chance of qualification. I’ve to say Al, it doesn’t break my heart to say it but I don’t particularly enjoy saying it, what about your mob on Tuesday night?“The tempo Celtic are playing at right now a lot of teams just can’t live with them.

They’ve got pace and power. They got a doing in Dortmund so to bounce back with a couple of great results is great.”Brazil said: “The urgency and the electricity generated at Celtic just now is incredible - it shocked me.
