Ally McCoist has revealed Tottenham manager-in-waiting Antonio Conte wanted to know everything about Rangers when the club opened their doors to him and his Juventus side.
The Italian big-hitters were in Glasgow back in 2013 preparing for a last 16 Champions League clash with Celtic, as the Ibrox side made their Auchenhowie training base available.
Juventus thrived in Glasgow and secured a 3-0 win at Parkhead before cruising the return 2-0 to secure a comprehensive victory over Neil Lennon's side.
Then Rangers boss McCoist admits he was like a sponge watching the Serie A big-hitters, and insists the interest was reciprocated from the man who has won league titles with three different teams over the past decade.
Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: "When he was manager of Juventus, he came up, he had a tie in Glasgow and he trained at Murray Park, I was manager of Rangers at the time.

"It was fascinating watching him. They had a training session, which I watched, it was great just to watch his Juve boys and how they would go about it.
