Argyll McCoist (pictured outside Paisley Sheriff Court with his father, Ally) is now able to stay at both parents' addresses
The son of Rangers legend Ally McCoist today won a court bid to stay with his father despite mowing down a pedestrian with his uninsured £20,000 sports car.
Argyll McCoist is subject to a nightly curfew for leaving the victim with a fractured skull and a bleed on the brain after mowing him down at high-speed in his vehicle.
The 20-year-old was electronically tagged and told he must remain inside his mother's home from 8pm to 5.30am every night for six months.
He ran a red light and struck 21-year-old Stephan Murdoch as he walked over the pedestrian crossing.
Sheriff Colin Pettigrew previously branded him 'reckless' and 'immature' for mowing down Mr Murdoch then driving off in his Audi 1 S Line TDI.
But at Paisley Sheriff Court today the sheriff amended the terms of his Restriction of Liberty Order, allowing him to stay at both of his parents' homes.
It means McCoist can spend the Christmas period at his father's home if he wishes. He failed in a bid to have the punishment relaxed so he can go to football training on Mondays and Thursdays.

Defence solicitor Peter Malone had told Sheriff Pettigrew that McCoist wished to become a professional footballer like his father, who became Rangers' record goalscorer, won nine successive league championships between 1988 and 1997 and later managed the club.
The lawyer explained: 'There is a letter [submitted to the court] from a member of the football club where Mr McCoist is a member.
'They play their games at weekends but they play on Mondays and Thursdays from 7.30pm to 9pm.
'I'm asking if the court would be prepared to vary the order to allow him to take part in the football training.

'This is something Mr McCoist is pursuing as a career, or is hoping to pursue as a possible career, and there is still an option open for him to combine his studies with his football abroad.'
But Sheriff Pettigrew refused to amend the terms of the RoLO to allow him to train - saying he was still on the naughty list over his crimes.
The judge explained: 'This is really not a change of circumstances, it was something I was aware of [at the time of sentencing] and the sentence was [imposed as] a direct alternative to a custodial sentence and contained an expression of society's displeasure and punishment.
'The application before me is to vary the Restriction of Liberty Order in two respects. I am willing to do the first part. 'I'm not willing to vary the timing, but you can attend your mother's or father's [home].'
McCoist, of Houston, Renfrewshire, previously admitted driving without insurance and causing serious injury to Mr Murdoch by driving dangerously.
Mr Murdoch was rushed to hospital after being struck by McCoist in the village of Bishopton, Renfrewshire, on December 3, 2016, spent a week in hospital, spent six months on crutches, had to quit his job as he could not stand for long periods and was still feeling pain in his leg some 21 months later.

He now also has memory and eyesight problems and also bears the emotional scars of the incident, now rarely leaving the house and panicking when crossing the road.
McCoist's dad - dubbed 'Super Ally' by Rangers fans during his 15-year spell at the club - was in court to support his son.
The former Scotland striker - who was the first player to be Europe's top goalscorer twice in a row, in 1992 and 1993, and was crowned Scotland's Player of the Year in 1992 - also accompanied him to court last year when he was again up on a charge of driving without insurance and was admonished at Paisley's Justice of the Peace Court.
Mr Malone also said he had spoken to McCoist snr, who was happy for his son to be able to stay at his home.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
