ALLY McCoist has delivered a damning verdict on Rangers, Celtic and Aberdeen's start to the season.

The Ibrox favourite branded Celtic and Aberdeen as "bang average" when discussing the Hoops' 2-1 win when the teams met.

But he was quick to add that he's also thought Rangers have been "extremely average" so far this season as he predicted an improvement as the season continues.

Discussing Celtic's win at Pittodrie with Darrell Currie and Chris Sutton on BT Sport's Scottish Football Extra, McCoist said: "I watched that game, I don't know if Chris agrees, but it looked to me like two bang average teams playing each other."

But Sutton replied questioning what McCoist's verdict on Rangers so far this season would be.

"You say two bang average teams, but what would you use as an adjective for Rangers this season?", asked Sutton.

McCoist replied: "Extremely average, as well. Oh, yeah.

"I've said every week I don't think Rangers have got going, I really don't. I still think there's improvement in them.

"I've got to say, if I'm an Aberdeen or Celtic fan, I'm sitting hoping there's improvement in my team as well."
