ALLY McCOIST is back in the saddle for his latest charity cycle event – but only after dealing with a few worrying mechanical issues first!

The Scotland and Rangers icon headed off from Belfast this morning to take on the 555-mile, six-day ride around Ireland as part of the Doddie’5 Lions Challenge.

Joining McCoist in the fundraising effort are Scotland rugby great Kenny Logan, his wife and broadcaster, Gabby, former rugby stars Mel Deane and Will Greene and actor Jamie Bamber.

The group will cover up to 100 miles a day in memory of Scotland legend Doddie Weir, who sadly passed away in 2022, and to raise money for research into motor neurone disease.

So far, the challenge has raised more than £300,000 for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association, with hopes of hitting the £500,000 mark before the final leg.

The ride will finish in Dublin on Friday where the team will deliver the match ball to the Aviva Stadium ahead of the British and Irish Lions’ clash with Argentina.

Logan says McCoist – who also took part in the 2023 charity cycle from Edinburgh to Paris – will fill the role again of trying to keep everyone’s spirits up during the gruelling ordeal.

But he revealed his close pal nearly never made it all – because he kept fiddling with his bike’s settings!

Logan said: “Ally’s been out and about but his bike broke down the other day.

“I told him not to trust himself to check the batteries on his fancy gears – someone else needs to do that for him!

“We’ve lost a few to injury and it just shows how demanding this is going to be.

“I’m not going to lie – I’ve had my own aches and pains.

“No major injuries thankfully, but I’ve definitely been reminded why I probably shouldn’t be moving this much at my age!

“I’m most nervous about the hills.

“I convinced myself Ireland was flat – it’s definitely not. But nerves are good.

“I’ve always had them before a big challenge, and it means I care.”

This year’s event is both a tribute to Weir and a rallying cry to continue his legacy.

Logan added: “The support’s been incredible.

“We’ve still got time to push, and every penny counts.

“Since Doddie died, awareness has grown massively – but we still need to fund research.

“The Foundation has committed nearly £20 million already, which is phenomenal, but it’s only the beginning.

“Doddie would be proud – but he’d be telling us to go further and faster.

“That’s why we’re doing this.”

Seven Scots are in the Lions squad for the tour after Zander Fagerson withdrew due to injury.

Logan admits he’s disappointed winger Darcy Graham never got the nod – but thinks there might be time yet for the Edinburgh flier to make the plane to Australia.

He added: “I still think Darcy will go – there’s a lot of rugby to be played between now and then, and there will be injuries.

“We’ve seen that with Zander missing out already.

“Overall it’s great to see so many Scots in the squad – they’ll be out to make their mark in Australia and put down a marker for the Test team.”

All funds raised will support the Foundation’s mission to find effective treatments – and ultimately a cure – for motor neurone disease.

A DRIVER thought she was doing the right thing to avoid breaking the law but instead ended up with a ticket.

She got slapped with a fine after following a clear road sign that warned of a closure.

It happened in Denver, Colorado, on Interstate 25, as she was heading to work in April.

Heather Elliott exited the toll lane after seeing a red “X” overhead, the signal drivers rely on to know a lane is shut.

But instead of praise for making a “smart and safe” move, she received a violation for “toll weaving.”

“I’d been warned twice now that the lane was closed, so I chose to get out of the lane because that was the smart and safe thing to do,” Elliott told NBC affiliate KUSA.

When she crossed the double white lines to exit, the system flagged her.

Despite doing what she believed was right, she was fined for an improper exit, and when she tried to justify her actions, the authorities didn’t want to hear it.

“I thought ‘no problem,’ all I would have to do is tell them that there was an accident and I made the right choice to get over,” Elliott said.

But her initial appeal was rejected without explanation.

Not willing to back down, she requested a formal hearing to challenge the citation.

It was not until she reached out for further help to fight the fine that the extent of the lane issue was revealed.

According to the local news outlet Elliott wasn’t the only one penalized that day.

Forty-eight other drivers were ticketed at the exact same spot, on the same day – four times the usual number.

That raised red flags about what really happened.

Just days before Elliott’s scheduled appeal hearing, the Colorado Department of Transportation canceled it and her fines.

Officials admitted that tickets had been issued by mistake.

The red “X” signal, meant to warn drivers of a closure, had been left on after an earlier accident.

The warning was never cleared, leading dozens of drivers to exit early and trigger the toll-weaving citations.

CDOT has now thrown out all 49 tickets and is refunding a total of $3,600 to drivers who paid without challenging the fine.

Had Elliott not fought the unfair fine, the mistake could have gone unnoticed and dozens of drivers left out of pocket for no reason.

Meanwhile another driver was hit with a $2k bill after filling up his tank but the dash said it was empty.

THE family of Minnesota Senator John Hoffman has revealed how his wife Yvette used her body as a shield when a gunman opened fire in their home.

Both Hoffman and Yvette were seriously injured when they were targeted in an attempted assassination at their home in Champlin around 2 am on Saturday morning.

Less than two hours later, the gunman, suspected to be 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter, shot and killed DFL speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark at their home in Brooklyn Park.

Hoffman, 60, and his wife underwent surgery at the Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids and are stable.

The pair were shot 11 times by the crazed gunman who posed as a police officer, their nephew Mat Ollig shared in an update on Facebook.

He revealed how Yvette heroically threw herself in front of their daughter Hope to shield her from the bullets.

Hope, who is in her 20s, was not injured in the horror attack.

Senator Hoffman was shot six times and Yvette five, Ollig said.

“My aunt threw herself on her daughter, using her body as a shield to save her life,” he wrote.

“They are both out of surgery and stable. These two are the kindest, most giving and caring people I know.”

He called the horror attack “a political act of terrorism” carried out by a “vile piece of s*** dressed as a cop”.

“I am beyond sick,” Ollig wrote as he shared pictures of the family.

One of the bullets that struck Hoffman narrowly missed his heart, local outlet KARE11 reported.

Boelter was named as a suspect for the shootings on Saturday afternoon sparking a major manhunt.

As the search continues into its second day, cops are tightening the net around the 57-year-old who allegedly wore a creepy latex mask when he gunned down his victims.

They have located a vehicle of interest and the cowboy hat they believe Boelter was wearing when he was last seen in the Twin Cities area.

These were found on Highway 25 roughly half way between Green Isle, where Boelter has a property, and Belle Plaine, KARE 11 reported.

State patrol confirmed they found a black vehicle on the side of the road that is of interest in the hunt for the suspect.

They also found a cowboy hat matching the one Boelter was seen wearing in the last CCTV footage of him lying in the open on the side of the road.

About 100 yards away from the road, is a property that KARE 11 says has a major police presence around it as part of the manhunt.

It has not been confirmed if Boelter is still in the area.

The FBI has issued a $50,000 reward for information that leads to his arrest and a conviction.

Hours after the double shooting, at around 6 am, Boelter’s roommate and best friend David Carlson received a string of chilling text messages from him in which Boelter said “I may be dead shortly”.

“I made some choices, and you guys don’t know anything about this, but I’m going to be gone for a while,” he said to his friends David and Ron.

“May be dead shortly, so I just want to let you know I love you guys both and I wish it hadn’t gone this way.”

Officials have said that they believe Boelter may have been trying to flee.

His wife Jenny was detained after a traffic stop during which cops found she was carrying weapons, cash, and passports, KTSP reported, citing law enforcement officials.

She was not arrested and officers have warned that as the search continues, Boelter should be considered armed and dangerous.

Officials have urged the public to send in tips and call 911 if they see him.
