Andy Halliday has lifted the lid on the hilarious sweepstake he and his former Rangers teammates used to place on one of the coaches every day in training.
The Motherwell midfielder has revealed that Gary McAllister would practice an invisible golf swing every single day at training.
The former Scotland and Liverpool player was Steven Gerrard's assistant manager during his time at Ibrox.
He was part of the staff that helped Rangers to win their 55th league title, and stop Celtic from winning 10 in a row by claiming the 2020/21 Scottish Premiership trophy.

It has emerged that several of Rangers players, during Gerrard's spell at the club, would place bets on what time exactly McAllister would perform his fresh air swing.
He told Open Goal: "There used to be a sweepstake every day at Rangers about how long it would take Gary Mac to do an invisible golf swing.
"He loved his golf, so all the boys would [put down] 10:05, 10:06, and boys would put actual money into it. So as soon as you go in, every warm-up would be two laps of the training pitch, and then in with the sports scientists.
"But all the boys would just be watching Gary Mac and the staff talking, and just out of nowhere you'd see him like that (mimics his invisible swing). Seven minutes past!"
