The Ibrox hero received his award at Windsor Castle and posted on X to share the news on Wednesday afternoon [2 October].McCoist, 62, has received the OBE as part of King Charles’ birthday honours list, recognised for his services to football and broadcasting.
He also hinted that he spoke with Prince William about his team Aston Villa ahead of their historic Champions League match with Bayern Munich.
McCoist shared: “Such a proud moment for myself and my family, I am humbled to be receiving my OBE from Prince William at Windsor Castle today. Thank you for all the support and messages, it means so much. Did we speak about [Aston Villa]? That’s between the Prince and I.”A universally loved footballing figure across several generations, McCoist’s recognition has come as very popular news.
