Ally McCoist rubbishes Rangers pressure claims made by Celtic icon Kenny Dalglish

Ally McCoist has rubbished suggestions from Celtic legend Kenny Dalglish that all the pressure is on Rangers in Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final.

The Hoops hero reckons the crunch tie is a must-win for Rangers to stop Celtic's chances of a treble.

They've already lifted the Premier Sports Cup and are in pole position to win the Premiership after going six points clear under Ange Postecoglou.

Rangers have stumbled their way through the campaign with the upheaval of Steven Gerrard's exit leading to a Hampden thumping from Hibs in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has since overseen a 12 point swing at the top of the league since January after going from six points in front to six behind.

The Scottish Cup is the last domestic trophy Rangers can win this season although they also have a Europa League quarter final clash with Braga on Thursday.

Reaching the last four would be a huge achievement but silverware is key but McCoist insists Celtic have plenty of pressure on them too because that's the nature of Scottish football.

He told talkSPORT: "I was at the last league game at Ibrox when Celtic won 2-1.

"Celtic defended really, really well to be honest with you and probably looked more dangerous.

"Rangers have got everything to play for - and so have Celtic!

"I love the fact we say there's more pressure on Rangers, these games are unbelievable, they really are.

"I can let Kenny off, because he's the best, because he's Kenny!"
