Sandy MacKenzie: "Astounded by all those promoting the 'integrity' and 'honour' of McCoist. If he was, as they paint him, genuine then surely he walks away (they do apparently after all) at no cost to the club he loves so much thus leaving cash to pay the staff he feels do much for?"

Lewis, Edinburgh: "Another sad day in the depressing saga. I suspect McCoist has had enough of being the public face and fall guy. He's done an impossible job to the best of his ability."

Liam, Glasgow: "Can't believe that Rangers fans are falling for this rubbish. McCoist is walking away just as things get tough and is looking to be the latest in a long line of people to get a golden handshake from this shambles of a club. Make no mistake he has done very well during these past 2 years. He has achieved the bare minimum given the squad he could field and has still presided over some really horrendous results. If he had any respect for Rangers he would stay and fight for their league position or he would walk away for free."

Graeme Smith, Dunfermline: "Really feel for McCoist. He took charge of Rangers in a turbulent period and has guided them to Scotland's second tier. Given a bit more time and the backing of a strong board I feel that within a couple of seasons we would be back challenging for the top league. Rangers are an institution and need to be successful. I back Ally and hope that he remains in charge."
