Ally McCoist recalls hilarious story when he shared stage with Rod Stewart

ALLY McCOIST has recalled the hilarious time the Scottish national team shared the stage with legendary crooner Rod Stewart at Madison Square Garden.

The 60-year-old revealed how then-manager Craig Brown had taken his Scotland team across the pond to Connecticut for a pre-Euros tournament in the summer of 1996.

Whilst the team were working hard in New England, Brown found out that rocker Stewart was playing one of the most well-known venues in the world just 95 miles away in Manhattan, New York City.

McCoist said: “I’ll give you a bit of information my old son. I’ve been on stage with Rod Stewart at Madison Square Garden - how does that grab you?

McCoist's co-hosts are immediately skeptical, saying: "Oh give over. Madison Square Garden?"

Ally then jokes: “Yes or as it’s known in the trade - The Garden."

However despite the best-laid plans of Craig Brown the Scotland team - which featured players such as Gary McAllister and John Collins - enjoyed themselves a bit too much according to McCoist
