Rangers hero Ally McCoist<\/p>\n

Giddy Rangers hero Ally McCoist<\/a> trolled Celtic over their latest injury time heroics against Kilmarnock.<\/p>\n

The Hoops took until the 97th minute to secure the three points against Kilmarnock after Julian Araujo<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Raging Neil McCann questioned where the officials found the added time as the Kilmarnock <\/a>boss accused the match officials of making up the seven minutes.<\/a> Ibrox fan favourite Kris Boyd backed the Rugby Park gaffer over the row.<\/a><\/p>\n

And McCoist couldn’t resisted sticking the boot in on Celtic<\/a> 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.”<\/p>\n

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’.”<\/p>\n

Brazil went on: “See, you texted me that. You are back in the race now and you still can’t accept it.”<\/p>\n

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…”<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

McCoist added: “I quite like the boy they have signed in the middle of the park, [Tochi] Chukwuani. He looks strong.”<\/p>\n

Brazil: “I think Celtic struggle in there at the moment, I really do.”<\/p>\n
