Ally McCoist fights back tears as he bids farewell to Laura Woods on final talkSPORT show

'Woodsy' is leaving her role after three-years anchoring the headline show and on her final show, things got emotional.

Her iconic tenure will be remembered for her partnership with Rangers and Scotland legend McCoist who was clearly sad to see his pal leave.

Woods had already paid an emotional tribute to the former striker after announcing her departure, but now it was his turn to provoke some tears.

He couldn't even bring himself to start, instead asking co-host Gabby Agbonlahor to take the lead.

"I'm just looking at some tweets, texts and messages coming in from listeners and it just sums it up, everybody loves you to bits, I love you.

"We've never had a crossed word at all, we've always got on really, really well, I cannot tell you how much I've enjoyed working with you.

"You've been an absolute breath of fresh air and particularly 6am to 6:15, I don't mind telling you. I've enjoyed that madness like you've got no idea.

Woods paid tribute too, calling the role, 'the best job you'll ever experience,' and thankfully whoever replaces her will have McCoist by their side too.

And while she is leaving her role as host, she will be back and remain part of the talkSPORT family.
