Rangers legend Ally McCoist has branded the headbutt from Ibrox women's assistant boss Craig McPherson on Celtic boss Fran Alonso as "very poor".
It was a blockbuster derby showdown at Broadwood Stadium as Celtic remained second in the league after rescuing the game with a 99th-minute leveller from Caitlin Hayes after Brogan Hay's first-half strike had looked to be enough for Malky Thomson's side. However, it's the incidents after full-time that dominated the post-match talking points after McPherson appeared to headbutt Hoops boss Alonso as he shook hands with the players.
Alonso stated after the full-time whistle he was also called "a little rat". McCoist reckons it sums up a terrible few days for the Glasgow giants, as he pointed to the the flashpoint during Steven Gerrard's celebrations during Liverpool legends clash with Celtic.
The former Ibrox boss was targeted by missiles as he celebrated scoring at Anfield. Speaking on talkSPORT, host Laura Woods said: "I get it sometimes. I am quite entertained by manager's having arguments on the pitch, I always thought it was part of the game. I don't think this is a part of the game. You blindside someone for a start, and come from behind..."
McCoist interjected: "I have only just seen it. It's really, really poor. With the greatest of respect, it's not been a great two or three days for Rangers and Celtic, with what happened at the weekend and what happened last night."
Woods added: "The weekend was the missiles right?" before McCoist responded "Yes, very poor." Woods continued: 'It does get to the point where it all gets out of hand. Something has to be done, I think in this kind of case it will be an important moment in women's football to take a stand against that."
