Ally McCoist resisted joining a radio rental Rangers fan who called for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s head as the Ibrox strike legend admitted his old club’s derby shocker came amid a “reasonable” start to the season. But McCoist did say his biggest concern was how similar the manner of the 4-0 drubbing at Parkhead was to the defeat on Van Bronckhorst’s first visit to the home of their fierce rivals back in February.
McCoist was on his usual talkSPORT breakfast slot as co-host Laura Woods played a call from a furious punter. He fumed: “He’s got to go. It's easy to raise your game for big European nights but it's about the bread and butter. When he took over we were six points clear, and we lost the league.
"We've got £40m in the bank from the Champions League, £20m from Bassey. For me, he's a bit of a mouse. I think the players aren't playing for him, that's what I'm seeing. I think he's a bit of a mouse." But McCoist said: “It’s a little bit harsh. The first thing I have to say is that it was an extremely disappointing performance. I was there commentating on it. The first thing you have to say - as difficult as it is - you really have to congratulate Celtic were were by far and away the better team.
