Ally McCoist was left stunned after a punter stole his jumper at the Cheltenham Festival. The Rangers legend had his Gant hoodie swiped while working for Talksport at the race meeting.
McCoist greeted a man who had won a competition organised by bookmakers Coral in its private box. However, he couldn’t believe his eyes when the man put on his sweater and left wearing it.
He said: “I was nice as ninepence to this wee guy who won a prize. Then he has only gone and taken my Gant top as his first prize.
“He was walking about the box with it on all day.
“When he was walking out, three sheets to the wind, I said to him, ‘That’s a nice top wee man, you’re looking well.’ He just gave me the thumbs up and went away with it.
“I have just got this vision of that wee guy tucked up in bed with my top on, his missus bringing him in tea and toast. I think he had a good day.”
McCoist, 60, is presenting the Talksport breakfast show from the racecourse every morning this week alongside Alan Brazil. The former Ibrox player and manager was named pundit of the year at the British Sports Journalism Awards in London last week.
