Fran Alonso doesn't want Rangers coach Craig McPherson dragged through the courts but demands apology over headbutt

Celtic women’s boss Fran Alonso will tell the police he doesn’t want to press charges against Rangers coach Craig McPherson over the headbutt storm.

Although the cops have opened up an inquiry into the shameful scenes at Broadwood on Monday night when the two Glasgow sides drew 1-1, Record Sport understands Alonso doesn’t want to take the matter to the courts. But it’s believed the Spaniard does want an apology from McPherson who is also alleged to have called him a “little rat”. Celtic went on record to express their disgust while Alonso kept a dignified silence.

The SFA are unlikely to be as lenient as the Hoops manager, though. SFA compliance officer Martin Black has been alerted to the events that marred the game which was beamed live on Sky Sports - the first time a SWPL has been screened live by the broadcaster - and while the incident has not been fast-tracked, the international break this week should accelerate the process.
