Rangers legend picks Celtic hero in ultimate Masters side as iconic event set to return

Rangers legend Ally McCoist has named his ultimate team for the Masters, and included a Celtic hero in his line-up.

McCoist, from East Kilbride, picked some Ibrox favourites that he played alongside during his illustrious Rangers career, including Brian Laudrup, Paul Gascoigne and Graeme Souness, but put ex-Celtic star Kenny Dalglish up front.

The Masters, a six-a-side competition for retired players over the age of 35, is returning after an 11-year absence.

Braehead Arena will host the tournament on July 8, for iconic players from Rangers and Celtic, as well as Manchester United and Liverpool.

McCoist, 59, has played in the tournament before, and also the legendary Tennent's Sixes before it, but is unlikely to play this time around.

However, he was asked for his side on talkSPORT, and didn't hesitate.

The former Scotland hero said: "I can give you mine very quickly.

"I'm playing [Andy] Goram in goals, just ahead of Chris Woods.

"I'm going to go one at the back, I'm playing [Terry] Butcher or [Richard] Gough, and then I'm, going to have Souness, Gascoigne, Laudrup and Dalglish."

Guest Gabby Agbonlahor, an Aston Villa hero, named his own side, with Shay Given in goal, John Terry and Ashley Cole in defence, former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in midfield, and Wayne Rooney up front.

When host Laura Woods asked who would win, McCoist said: "What?! That team would beat anybody!"
