ALLY MCCOIST insists his Rangers shares will always remain in his family.

The former Ibrox boss still has a financial interest in the Light Blues through his RIFC plc stake.

McCoist said: “It’s safe to say my shares will be within my family. That’s the way I have always wanted it. When I’m long gone, hopefully my boys and then their boys after them will have the shares and they will go to their families.

“I remember Jack Gillespie, an old Rangers director, basically on is dying bed wanted to give myself and Sandy Jardine his shares.

“I thought that was one of the nicest things I can ever remember happening to me.

“That’s the way it will be with me. The shares will, hopefully, be in my family for generations.”
