Ally McCoist Accuses Barry Ferguson of Rangers Bias in Fiery TNT Clash Over Controversial Call
Tensions flared on TNT Sports as Ally McCoist took aim at fellow pundit Barry Ferguson, accusing the former Rangers captain of letting his Ibrox allegiances cloud his judgment. The heated exchange came after a contentious refereeing decision during a crucial match, which Ferguson described as a “harsh call” against Rangers.
McCoist, never one to shy away from a debate, immediately pushed back, suggesting Ferguson’s reaction was anything but neutral. “Come on, Barry — you can’t keep pretending to be unbiased when it’s your old club on the line,” McCoist said, visibly frustrated. “We’ve all played the game, but you’ve got to be honest with what you’re seeing.”
Ferguson, defending his viewpoint, insisted he was calling it as he saw it, but the exchange underscored the ongoing debate around impartiality in football punditry, especially when former players analyze matches involving their old clubs.
Viewers on social media were quick to weigh in, with some siding with Ferguson’s passionate defense and others praising McCoist for calling out perceived favoritism. Either way, the moment added fuel to the ongoing rivalry narrative and highlighted the emotional tightrope ex-players walk in the media spotlight.
