Ally McCoist says he'd rather be chinned by Tyson Fury than sing 'Three Lions'

The entire nation has been swept up in an England frenzy ahead of Wednesday's Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark, but there was one person in the talkSPORT studios who wasn't feeling it…

Actually, that's not quite true, as anyone who has heard Mr McCoist on talkSPORT or on ITV commentary duty can testify - Ally loves football. He LOVES it.

Even if that means watching England play for a place in the final of a major competition, the Rangers legend and former Scotland striker wouldn't allow his national allegiance to stop his enjoyment.

But that doesn't mean he will take part in the chant that is sweeping the nation - as much as we try to convince him!

As well as bringing you every match of Euro 2020, talkSPORT has announced some other big news this summer having won the EXCLUSIVE rights to bring you LIVE coverage of Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury 3 from Las Vegas on Saturday July 24.

British heavyweight star Fury joined the Breakfast show on Wednesday morning to chat about the trilogy bout and - in true Gypsy King style - he couldn't resist a sing-song as he belted out a bit of 'Three Lions' live on air.

"It's coming home for the first time since 1966, and where else but Wembley," said the boxer ahead of the crunch semi-final against the Danes.

"I've got a funny feeling England will do it, we've got to get past Denmark and it would be a tough game against Italy in the final, but I think we've grown in the competition.

"The longer the competition has gone on, the boys have got more confidence, Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Harry Maguire are all in good form.

"It'll be a tough game for England, but I'm expecting them to win comfortably and go through to the final - IT'S COMING HOME!"

Following the interview, talkSPORT host Laura Woods said: "There you go, Tyson Fury said it, so it's going to be happening. He sang those famous words, 'it's coming home'… fancy doing it, Ally?"

Well, Scotland legend McCoist wasn't having that, not one jot.

"I'll be honest with you, I would rather walk into the ring with Tyson with a pair of boxing gloves on, throw my chin in his general direction and say, 'Tyson, have some of that if you fancy it', than sing those words.

"Have I made that crystal clear enough," he laughed.

But actually, Ally isn't a hater when it comes to the legendary England anthem. In fact, he even thinks it's a 'catchy wee number'.

However, that doesn't mean we'll hear him singing it anytime soon… although there's absolutely no harm in keeping asking him, Woodsy!

"No, I'm not fed up of hearing it, it's a catchy wee number and I'm over it," added the fan-favourite pundit.

"Listen, I do not begrudge anybody the excitement and enthusiasm to look forward to seeing your team do well, and that's where I am on it.

"But if you ask me to sing those words again, I'll flick your nose!"

We'll take that as a firm, 'no'.
