ALLY McCoist was put back in his box this morning on the TalkSport Alan Brazil Show when Shay Given came on the air to talk football.

After a lengthy discussion about different things in the game; Given finished his chat by telling Ally McCoist to ‘calm down’ about bigging up a certain Ibrox club’s title challenge.

Speaking to Brazil, Given said: “Can I just finish by telling Ally McCoist to calm down because Celtic are still top of the league on the Scottish front.”

McCoist Replied: “It’s a first time in a wee while you’re having a wee look over your shoulder though, Shay,”

To which the Irishman responded: “Your boys are still looking down, don’t worry.”

Given had a fantastic football career and some may not know the Irishman was actually in Celtic’s youth system back in the 90s before the club let him go.

He is still a massive Celtic fan and has been seen attending matches down the years and has played at Celtic Park for Ireland in a testimonial.

It’s nice to see ex-footballers in the media actually talking up Celtic for a change, it seems all we hear is negativity.

The bhoys go into the second half of the season, top of the league with a game in hand having already won the League Cup and progressed in Europe.

Simmer down.
