Ally McCoist gives honest 'no malice' verdict on Bruno Guimaraes' semi-final red card

Sky Sports commentator and former striker Ally McCoist has said that he can sympathise with Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes after he was sent off against Southampton in their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg win.

The Brazilian was shown a straight red card after a horrific tackle on Saints winger Sam Edozie saw VAR intervene in the decision following referee Paul Tierney's original decision to only show him a yellow card.

But while McCoist could see how bad the challenge was, the former Scottish international highlighted that he understands that it's simply a mistimed tackle and not an intentional challenge while on commentary.
