RANGERS legend Ally McCoist has started a chauffeur and limos firm, we can reveal.
The footie hero, 61, set up the business with his eldest lad Alexander, 29.
But since forming AM Executive Chauffeur Ltd he has been fined for speeding twice on the same day.
Officials say the pair’s company is involved in the “renting and leasing of cars and light motor vehicles”.
It’s registered in Erskine, Renfrewshire, with both Coisty and his lad named as its sole directors.
Last month the ex-Scotland football legend was hit with £510 in fines after he admitted going over the speed limit twice on January 6.
Dumbarton Sheriff Court heard the former Rangers striker was clocked driving at 48mph in a 30mph zone in Tarbet, Argyll. And on the same day McCoist was also recorded doing 55mph in a separate 30mph zone on the A83 in nearby Arrochar.
The telly pundit, of Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, also had four penalty points added to his licence.
His vehicles business was incorporated days before he was cleared of liability for a £244,000 insurance bill.
Aviva claimed he should’ve stopped son Argyll, 24, driving his motor before a hit-and-run crash in Bishopton, Renfrewshire, in 2016.

Victim Stephan Murdoch was given a £200,000 compo payout. But a judge said Ally did not have to pay up for his uninsured lad.
Last night a source said: “Ally has a lot of contacts who like to be driven about in limos, so this could be a nice earner.”
And last night Sheffield Hallam University sport finance expert Dr Dan Plumley said diversifying income and considering business alternatives was vital for retired professional footballers.
He added: "Of course, they are also often in a more privileged position to do some of these things linked to their profile as a footballer.
"It is a case of leveraging that as much as possible to your advantage, just like any business will do with its brand and reputation."
