Ally McCoist says Conor McGregor instead of Callum McGregor
Ally McCoist appeared with the former Celtic player, Chris Sutton, on BT Sport’s Scottish Football Extra. The presenter, Emma Dodds, questioned Ally McCoist, “Four Scotland players started every game. Can you name them?” The Ibrox hero started to answer and named the goalkeeper Craig Gordan instantly.
But, he had a brain freeze in naming the second player, as he made the hilarious blunder of naming ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor, instead of the Celtic captain and hero, Callum McGregor. He quickly realized his mistake and rectified it by saying Callum McGregor’s name.
