The SPL is going to be very interesting indeed this campaign.
Rangers are champions and McCoist has a lot of pressure on his shoulders, but people can easily forget that he has no experience of first team management. Rangers previous three title wins were largely down to the manager Walter Smith, who produced a team that were not exciting but consistent and efficient.
McCoist lacks that managerial know-how and I think he will struggle at first. It wouldn't surprise me if Rangers are sitting in 3rd at ths halfway point of the season, but then pick up and finish in 2nd place: still being quite a way behind Celtic who should really win the league this year with their superior squad.
