McCoist happy with Gers show

ALLY McCoist hailed his Rangers side after they strolled to a 4-1 Scottish Championship victory over Dumbarton on Saturday and dismissed reports linking him with the Crystal Palace manager vacancy.

First half goals from Lee McCulloch and Darren McGregor set Rangers up for another home win on the back of Monday's 8-1 hammering of Clyde in the Petrofac Training Cup.

And although it was a gutsy performance from Dumbarton, a second half strike from Nicky Clark and an own goal from Chris Turner left Ian Murray's side on the wrong end of another crushing defeat - with only a Bilel Mohsni own goal for consolation.

McCoist (right) was understandably delighted with his side after they recorded their first league win at Ibrox of the season.

He said: "I was really pleased as the football was of a good standard. It's also really important to get among the goals but if you get them from different areas of the team it makes you really hard to play against."

On rumours he is in the frame to succeed Tony Pulis at Selhurst Park, McCoist added: "There has been no contact at all with Crystal Palace. "I've got a job to do here."
