Former Rangers and Scotland star Ally McCoist receives OBE at Windsor Castle

“I’ve been very, very blessed to do something I love effectively all my life,” he said.

“There’s not many people who can get up in the morning and genuinely love what they’re doing.

“Playing football for a living was a dream, to do it professionally for 22 years was absolutely fabulous.”

He said he has no regrets about his career, which included a stint as manager of Rangers during a difficult era for the Glasgow club.

He was previously awarded an MBE in 1994 for his services to football.

Wednesday’s ceremony saw him honoured with an OBE from Prince William who McCoist said was “very well versed” in football.

He said: “It was great, it was special. You sometimes worry will there be things to say, will there be things to talk about, but he puts everybody at ease.

He said he mainly talked to the Prince about football.

“I’m obviously well aware that the prince is an Aston Villa fan – they’ve got a very, very big game tonight, which I think he’s going to.

“So we spoke about that, and just generally working in broadcasting and life, really.”
