Celtic Park will host the fixture on March 16, with Aberdeen taking on Inverness Caledonian Thistle for the trophy.
Asked if he was surprised his club's ground had been overlooked for the occasion, McCoist replied: "Not surprised at all.
"I did say to the chief executive that if we were allowed to bet, which of course we are not, get a few quid on the cup final not being at Ibrox.
"I just didn't think it would be. It was my own opinion.

Particularly liked this bit:
"I think obviously Neil [Doncaster], or indeed whoever is running the SPFL, made the decision and they'll stick by it."
Why doesn't sleekit come and spit out who he is meaning instead of hiding behind innuendo?
But I'm sure the buns will lap this up its classic diversionary playing to the gallery that buns all fall for when there is sh it going on at home. Whyte and Green were masters at it.
"Playing to the gallery" was exactly the thought that went through my mind too brother Moggers. The man has no shame.
