Some memorable Coisty lines from World Cup 2018:
On Archie Gemmell vs Holland:
McCoist: "Goal of the World Cup. Goal of any World Cup".
Champion: “I’m just going to pick you up on one thing. You are trying to tell me that in Brazil, in Germany, in every country around the world, universally, Archie Gemmill’s goal for Scotland is considered the best World Cup goal?"
McCoist: "If they’re going to be honest with themselves, yes.
"Maradona’s against England was quite good, the second one".
On Colombia:
McCoist: "I actually don’t think Colombia have been involved in a 0-0 at the World Cup".
Champion: “You know that, you don’t think it. You were telling us before the game."
McCoist: "I know, but I’m just trying to play the game a little bit here Jon".
On Ivan The Terrible:
Champion: "This stoppage also gives us a chance to reflect on your time in Kazan, Ally. A place with a fairly turbulent history isn’t it?"
McCoist: “Unbelievable John. If you put me in a corner and nailed me, it’s probably my favourite place in the trip so far.
"Unbelievable, and it’s come a long way since it fell to Ivan The Terrible in 1552".
