Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist is concentrating on his job at Ibrox and ignoring reports of a return to manage Sunderland. McCoist, a former Sunderland striker, has reiterated that Rangers are the team he has always wanted to coach.

"At the moment my job is to be assistant to the manager. Walter is still my father figure and boss," McCoist told the Daily Record.

"I'm not thinking about anything beyond that and it doesn't annoy me that people still think of me as the boy who sowed his wild oats without considering I might make it as a coach.

"The people who really know me understand football is my life, Rangers is my team - and I have no regrets about giving up a life in television to pursue my dream of working for the club."
