‘It is horrendous' – Ally McCoist confesses to epic fail ahead of final day of Rangers legend's charity bike ride
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE was time for a couple of awkward moments this morning as Ally McCoist embarked on the last leg of his charity bike ride in honour of the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. The big hearted Rangers icon and pal Kenny Logan are cycling from Belfast to Dublin to present the match ball for tonight's British and Irish Lions opener against Argentina at the Aviva Stadium in honour of late Scottish and Lions rugby hero Doddie Weir's motor neurone charity. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 Ally McCoist realises the error of his ways Credit: Instagram @meldeane12 2 McCoist comes to the terrible realisation Credit: Instagram @meldeane12 It's been a great effort from all concerned - despite the minor hiccup of a crash along the way. But one mishap presented itself this morning when a sheepish McCoist was told he had to wear his red cycling jersey for the final stage of the journey. That's because he had omitted to take said item out of his kit bag - meaning it was now rather smelly. In a video for Instagram, the Gers icon told pal Mel Deane: "I've just found out its the red top we're wearing today and that wouldn't normally be a problem. "But the problem is I had my red top on on Monday and I've not done anything with it yet [in terms of getting it washed]. "It is horrendous. Seriously, I'm not even joking! I have to put that on!" It's bean an arduous journey all right for Coisty and co and his cycling shoes aren't much better. In another jokey piece with pal Mel, McCoist holds them up to the camera and says: "I've got news for you. "I've just received an email from the head of the European Cycling Federation. "He's not asking me, he's DEMANDING that these end up in the cycling hall of fame in Paris." Rangers hero Ally McCoist lands massive double bed and tells roommate 'it'll be interesting when Gabby Logan gets here' Deane asks: "Oh will you manage to get your feet into them today?" McCoist replied: "I've no idea - it took me 26 minutes yesterday to get them out." Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

The pair have two children together - Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. It comes after the King suffered a streak of bad horseracing luck on day one of the event. The family horse, Reaching High, suffered a 'stinker' in the closing stages under jockey Ryan Moore. Meanwhile, his horse, Rainbows Edge, was smashed into a 7-2 favourite for the Kensington Palace Stakes. Earlier this week, Princess Kate pulled out of the event in a last minute decision as she adjusts to her royal duties.

ITV Love Island star unrecognisable since kids TV show role
ITV Love Island star unrecognisable since kids TV show role Iain Stirling has been the voice over for Love Island since 2015 and fans of the hit ITV2 show have been left stunned to see him in a throwback photo to his first ever TV role Iain has been the voiceover on Love Island since 2015 (Image: BBC ) A Love Island star is barely recognisable in a photograph from an overlooked role on a once-popular children's television programme. Love Island has made a comeback this month, already causing a stir with some brutal new twists and surprises wreaking havoc in the villa. From fresh bombshells to secrets being unveiled, tensions are escalating. Despite new challenges and new surprises, one thing has stayed consistent since the series returned in 2015, Iain Stirling. The sarcastic Scottish comedian is now for his witty voiceover of the reality show, however some may know him for different reasons. Iain Stirling was once the face of a CBBC programme, and in fact it was his first gig alongside his canine co-star Hacker T Dog. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter . The Love Island star hosted Scoop on CBBC, providing links between shows around 16 years ago. He left CBBC in 2013, only to return for a special 30th-anniversary celebration two years later. He went on to present programmes like The Dog Ate My Homework and Love Island on ITV2. He is also recognised as a comedian and a writer. However, as the latest series of Love Island graces our screens, a major throwback photo reveals the star looking vastly different from his current appearance. In a photo shared last year, Stirling sports longer hair than he does today and looks significantly younger as he poses next to fan favourite Hacker T Dog and Phil Fletcher who is the puppeteer behind the character. Article continues below Iain said: "The wonderful @philfletcherofficial just sent me a load of these absolute CLASSICS! Who remembers the classic CBBC days?" Content cannot be displayed without consent Fans were eager to join in the conversation, with some only now realising it is the popular voiceover artist. They said: "How have I just realised this is you!??" Another joked: "Omg I can't believe that's you and I didn't put it together! You said you were on a show but I had no idea you were my little teen crush! Awkward" One person said: "This was my whole childhood mate" Another chimed in: "Ngl. I actually think I remember watching you on ur first day and I'm now in college. That makes me feel super old!". Article continues below Someone else simply wrote: "Memories!". Now, as we know Iain works on Love Island and Love Island USA, but he also co-hosts the podcast Murder They Wrote with his wife and presenter, Laura Whitmore. The pair married in 2020 and they have a 4-year-old daughter together.
