«Breaking News» Son of Rangers boss Ally McCoist wins court bid to be allowed to stay with his father

Argyll McCoist (pictured outside Paisley Sheriff Court with his father, Ally) is now able to stay at both parents' addresses  

The son of Rangers legend Ally McCoist today won a court bid to stay with his father despite mowing down a pedestrian with his uninsured £20,000 sports car. 

Argyll McCoist is subject to a nightly curfew for leaving the victim with a fractured skull and a bleed on the brain after mowing him down at high-speed in his vehicle.

The 20-year-old was electronically tagged and told he must remain inside his mother's home from 8pm to 5.30am every night for six months.

He ran a red light and struck 21-year-old Stephan Murdoch as he walked over the pedestrian crossing.

Sheriff Colin Pettigrew previously branded him 'reckless' and 'immature' for mowing down Mr Murdoch then driving off in his Audi 1 S Line TDI.

But at Paisley Sheriff Court today the sheriff amended the terms of his Restriction of Liberty Order, allowing him to stay at both of his parents' homes.

It means McCoist can spend the Christmas period at his father's home if he wishes. He failed in a bid to have the punishment relaxed so he can go to football training on Mondays and Thursdays.

The football legend's son appealed to change an order restricting his movement at Paisley Sheriff Court (pictured) 

Defence solicitor Peter Malone had told Sheriff Pettigrew that McCoist wished to become a professional footballer like his father, who became Rangers' record goalscorer, won nine successive league championships between 1988 and 1997 and later managed the club.

The lawyer explained: 'There is a letter [submitted to the court] from a member of the football club where Mr McCoist is a member.

'They play their games at weekends but they play on Mondays and Thursdays from 7.30pm to 9pm. 

'I'm asking if the court would be prepared to vary the order to allow him to take part in the football training. 

The Rangers legend (pictured outside court) joined his son in Paisley 

'This is something Mr McCoist is pursuing as a career, or is hoping to pursue as a possible career, and there is still an option open for him to combine his studies with his football abroad.'

But Sheriff Pettigrew refused to amend the terms of the RoLO to allow him to train - saying he was still on the naughty list over his crimes.

The judge explained: 'This is really not a change of circumstances, it was something I was aware of [at the time of sentencing] and the sentence was [imposed as] a direct alternative to a custodial sentence and contained an expression of society's displeasure and punishment.

'The application before me is to vary the Restriction of Liberty Order in two respects. I am willing to do the first part. 'I'm not willing to vary the timing, but you can attend your mother's or father's [home].'

McCoist, of Houston, Renfrewshire, previously admitted driving without insurance and causing serious injury to Mr Murdoch by driving dangerously.

Mr Murdoch was rushed to hospital after being struck by McCoist in the village of Bishopton, Renfrewshire, on December 3, 2016, spent a week in hospital, spent six months on crutches, had to quit his job as he could not stand for long periods and was still feeling pain in his leg some 21 months later.

Mr Murdoch (pictured recovering in hospital) was mowed down after the driver ran a red light and hit him 

He now also has memory and eyesight problems and also bears the emotional scars of the incident, now rarely leaving the house and panicking when crossing the road.

McCoist's dad - dubbed 'Super Ally' by Rangers fans during his 15-year spell at the club - was in court to support his son.

The former Scotland striker - who was the first player to be Europe's top goalscorer twice in a row, in 1992 and 1993, and was crowned Scotland's Player of the Year in 1992 - also accompanied him to court last year when he was again up on a charge of driving without insurance and was admonished at Paisley's Justice of the Peace Court.

Mr Malone also said he had spoken to McCoist snr, who was happy for his son to be able to stay at his home.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
