Ally McCoist in sheepish Rangers rant confession as Celtic hero Chris Sutton makes late entrance with 'sick bucket'

Ally McCoist admits he may have got a bit carried away with an incredulous commentary reaction to Rangers' being denied a potential Europa League winner against Borussia Dortmund.

"I mean, what an evening..."
