New Scotland boss Sebastien Pocognoli was once fined by police after he did a Graeme Souness and planted a flag on the pitch following a famous derby success.
The Belgian coach was unveiled as Steve Clarke's successor in a surprise move from SFA chiefs.
Pocognoli had admitted in interviews he has a 'fire burning inside me' after a fine career at the likes of AZ Alkmaar, Brighton, West Brom and Hannover.
But an incident when he was a 25-year-old playing for his hometown club Standard Liege caused plenty of controversy in his homeland and led to police involvement.
Pocognoli helped Standard to a 6-2 win at bitter rivals Charleroi in 2012 and, after the game, ran to the centre spot to plant his team's flag on the pitch....much to the delight of his club's fans.
It mirrored former Scotland legend Souness' infamous act in 1996 when he was Galatasaray manager and planted a giant club flag into the centre circle of arch-rivals Fenerbahce's pitch after winning the Turkish Cup, sparking outrage.
Belgian authorities also took a dim view of Pocognoli's act and Charleroi police charged him with 'incitement to violence.'
He was eventually fined £550 and issued an apology.
He said: "My intention was in no way to provoke the supporters of Sporting Charleroi, a club for which I have the utmost respect.

"The Standard supporters provided tremendous support to the team during this match and to me personally and in the euphoria of our victory, my sole intention was to thank them for this support, which touched me deeply.
"However, in hindsight, this gesture was somewhat clumsy and if it has resulted in hurting some of the Charleroi supporters, I wish to apologise to them.
"I believe I have always demonstrated a respectful attitude towards everyone on and off the pitch and I intend to maintain this attitude in the future."
And Pocognoli was involved in another fine last season when he was Monaco boss, although he wasn't to blame this time.
Monaco had to pay the French FA £20,000 for every game when he was manager because he did not hold the required French Professional Football Coaching Certificate...even though he had guided Union Saint-Gilloise to the Belgian title the previous season.
It eventually cost Monaco £600,000 in fines to allow the 39-year-old to manage them in Ligue 1 and French Cup matches....before they sacked him at the end of the season anyway.
