Ally McCoist insists he would be more likely to land the Everton job ahead of Rangers boss Steven Gerrard.

The Toffees are on the look out for a new manager after Carlo Ancelotti made the decision to complete a shock return to Real Madrid.

The Italian has left Goodison Park after 18 months in the role where he put foundations in place for the club to start competing for European qualification again.

Gerrard has been linked with the vacant position, but Ibrox hero McCoist doesn't reckon there is much substance to the rumours.

He told talkSPORT: "He's got Champions League football to look forward to! He's looking to get two in a row!

"We've just for the second year in a row -and we've not had any supporters in all season - we've just sold 40,000 season tickets. The club's going through the roof!

"He's on board, he's going into his fourth season having won the championship in his third, he's got a board that back him, he's doing ever so well.

"Come on guys, let's be realistic about this. There's a better chance of me being the Everton manager than Steven Gerrard!

"There are one or two things that only Steven would be able to answer and the Everton job is a fantastic job.

"But let's not kid ourselves on, it's not for Steven Gerrard at this moment in time."
