Former Rangers manager Ally McCoist was under consideration at Aston Villa, it has been revealed.
Tim Sherwood was appointed new Villa manager yesterday.
The Mail on Sunday says McCoist was on their shortlist as an alternative before Sherwood was appointed on Saturday.
Ironically, the Scot is earning more money at Rangers now than when he did work.
In 2013, he voluntarily took a 50% pay cut on his £800,000-a-year wages to help the club get over their financial problems, but that no longer applies.
