Was reading The Sun on Saturday and I noticed an article on a celebrity boxing tournament coming to Dubai next year.
It said that apparently Ally McCoist, a Rangers legend (yaaaas!) has been signed up for the event at the JBH.
Anyone got anymore information?
Cheers
Ross :D

Here is the article word for word:
Quote:
- Rangers legend Ally McCoist has been lined up to take part in a celebrity boxing match.
The Scotland coach is set to fight in Dubai next year. The identity of his opponent is being kept under wraps.
Promoter Ian McLeod revealed last night: "Ally has been in serious training for some time now. He is in the gym at every opportunity and is shaping up well. If he sticks to the regim we'll sneak him onto the super middle-weight division. But he realises theres a few guys out there who would take great delight in having a jab at him."
Ian, 37, of Kilmarnock - who used to promote champ Audley Harrison - is staging a series of scraps at the posh Jumeirah Beach Hotel. MCCoist will fight up to three two-minute rounds in an eight-fight bill in front of a 1000-strong crowd.
Other showbiz and sporting celebs are being lined up. Ian added: "We plan to have a host of stars coming along on the night. Ally is a big fight fan. When I approached him he was right up for taking part."
