Ally McCoist makes 'genuinely pleased' comment following Celtic Champions League goal

Celtic are flying the flag for Scottish football in the Champions League this season - and they represented our league superbly by thrashing Slovakian giants Slovan Bratislava 5-1 on Wednesday night. 

The dominant victory at Parkhead began with Liam Scales’ powerful header from Arne Engels' corner giving the reigning Scottish Premiership champions the half-time lead.

Rangers legend Ally McCoist was on commentary duties for TNT Sports' coverage of Manchester City versus Inter Milan at the Etihad Stadium.

But that didn't stop his colleague for the evening, Peter Schmeichel - father of Celtic's goalkeeper Kasper, reminding the Rangers hero of the scoreline from Glasgow.

"I was genuinely pleased for the Glasgow team," McCoist stated with a smirk when asked about Celtic being 1-0 up at the break. 

"It looked offside from here, definitely,” he sheepishly added on Scales’ goal.
