Ally McCoist has confessed that one of his mates from Rangers stated the team is "still spoiling my Saturday" even without playing, following the unsuccessful attempt to re-appoint Steven Gerrard after talks about his return didn't reach a positive outcome. This means that Rangers is back to square one in its quest for a new manager.
