The club’s all-time time top goal scorer also managed the team and was assistant on some epic occasions – including the UEFA Cup final run in 2008.
He is the record Scottish-based goalscorer in Europe and McCoist also holds the record for goals in European competition at Ibrox, having opened his account against Bohemians in 1984.
He scored two aginst Leeds United during the epic European Cup run – unbeaten – in 1992/93 and finished off his UEFA competition haul in 1997 with one of many against Champions League qualifier minnows GI Gotu.
Current Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos now shares his tally of 21 goals, and has the outright record in his sights, but here’s the pictorial record of the Scotland forward’s haul – ranging through almost 13 years, and 21 goals from 54 European appearances in Light Blue.
