Lets make no mistake about McCoist's comments...
This was not a rant or bursting a fuse or spur of the moment.
This was not a live bbc radio interview after a cup final defeat or a sky sports interviewer catching him by surprise as he ripped the heid aff it in the bushes...
He knew who they were.
He knew that rangers had agreed there would be "public" anonymity.
This was a "statement" put out through Rangers TV, their own media outlet.... he knew what he was going to say, he probably watched the interview back, then said to the editor it was ok...
He had every opportunity to watch that back.... go for a pee & think it over... and say no, thats not the right thing to say...
This was a calculated statement made deliberately to get a reaction. and it was successful. He should be ashamed.
