A spat between two players going public would never have happened at Rangers back in the day, according to Brian Laudrup.
The former Gers star has been reflecting on his time at Ibrox and the culture in Scotland.
The Dane provided his thoughts in relation to the bust-up between Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane at Bayern Munich last week.
Laudrup’s former club are set to offload Mane after he punched teammate Sane following their heavy Champions League quarter-final first-leg defeat to Manchester City.
The pair were seen arguing on the park, and that continued after the full-time whistle.
He’s been fined £250,000 by Bayern and it seems likely he'll be moved on ahead of next season.
Laudrup isn’t surprised the punch-up is being aired in public, as there were plenty of leaks even during his playing days.
But it wouldn’t have happened at Rangers, who were masters at dealing with things in-house under Walter Smith.
Archie Knox and Ally McCoist ended up wrestling in the bath after a match.
But hearing that didn't surprise Laudrup. He wrote in his Daily Mail column: “I recently heard my old assistant manager Archie Knox talk about how he ended up wrestling with Ally McCoist in the bath after a game. It might have been before my time, but I could picture that happening.
“A lot of little things went on at Rangers over my four years but they were dealt with immediately behind the scenes. Also, the mentality in Scotland is a bit different.
“I liked how you could have a stand-up argument with someone in the dressing room then, 15 minutes later, you went out and had a pint together. That was certainly how it was when Walter Smith was in charge. It was all sorted at the time and then forgotten.
“In truth, a tussle between Mane and Sane wouldn't have been such a big issue if Bayern were well clear in the Bundesliga and in good form. Right now, though, it's another signal to their rivals in Germany and Europe that all is not well. It creates more stories. There is talk of Mane being offloaded this summer.
“Time will tell whether that's true, but this incident hasn't helped Mane's cause. It shows how bad things have become when people are thinking it might be time to cut ties with last summer's star signing.”
