Rangers hero Ally McCoist
Giddy Rangers hero Ally McCoist trolled Celtic over their latest injury time heroics against Kilmarnock.
The Hoops took until the 97th minute to secure the three points against Kilmarnock after Julian Araujo made it 3-2 to secure a remarkable fight-back at Rugby Park. It follows a last-gasp equaliser to send the Scottish Cup clash with Dundee and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s decisive strike against Livingston in midweek.
Raging Neil McCann questioned where the officials found the added time as the Kilmarnock boss accused the match officials of making up the seven minutes. Ibrox fan favourite Kris Boyd backed the Rugby Park gaffer over the row.
And McCoist couldn’t resisted sticking the boot in on Celtic diehard Alan Brazil. Looking back on the game on the talkSPORT Breakfast Show, the host conceded: “Celtic looked like a pub team first half. I don’t like to say it, but a pub team.”
McCoist grinned: “It’s incredible isn’t it. And did you see the boy hold up the added time? There was no numbers on it, it just said ‘until Celtic score’.”
Brazil went on: “See, you texted me that. You are back in the race now and you still can’t accept it.”
McCoist: “I sent you it, it said ‘until Celtic score’.” The Rangers hero then bursts out laughing, before going on: “It was funny mind, but fair play, they did keep going, but you can’t keep doing that, surely? Well, you probably can right enough…”
Brazil cut in – admitting Celtic gaffer Martin O’Neill wont’ have been impressed by the showing from the Scottish champions: “Martin must have gone crazy.”
McCoist added: “I can tell you right now, after the game Martin was clearly not happy. Clearly delighted to get the winner, but you could tell he was not happy.”
Celtic’s Julian Araujo celebrates
Brazil then flipped the script on McCoist and his criticism of Youssef Chermiti – who netted a hat-trick in the crucial victory over table-topping Hearts.
He quizzed: “Are you not one of those who said that centre-forward is right diddy, who bought him? Get rid of him. Not good enough for Rangers.”
McCoist grinned: “I said that, but accept from the big games. I quite like the look of the other one [Ryan Naderi], but the big boy that scored a hat-trick, his second goal – the header – was tremendous.”
Celtic daft Brazil then conceded he was concerned about the title run-in, adding: “I will say now, if I was a regular Celtic fan going home and away, I would be worried about the Old Firm games now. In midfield, Rangers will boss the midfield.”
McCoist added: “I quite like the boy they have signed in the middle of the park, [Tochi] Chukwuani. He looks strong.”
Brazil: “I think Celtic struggle in there at the moment, I really do.”
