Ally McCoist apologises for sounding 'too Glaswegian' during World Cup commentary

Ally McCoist was forced to apologise for sounding too Scottish while commentating on the Qatar World Cup. The Rangers legend went full-blown Glaswegian while reporting on Brazil's 4-1 win over South Korea for ITV on Monday night.

After getting overly excited by Brazil's spectacular first-half display, the former Ibrox manager slipped into his native tongue - leaving his colleague baffled. Fellow pundit Jon Champion joked that he had no idea what McCoist was saying, with some viewers sharing their own confusion over his commentary on social media.

After the second half kicked off, McCoist, 60, said: "I've been reliably informed by a member of our staff that I was getting very much Glaswegian as that first half was going on. I was getting a bit excited so I can apologise. I was actually getting a bit like Roy Keane, I was getting annoyed at that South Korea back four more than anything."
