The Bhoys secure their place in the next round of the Scottish Cup at the expense of McInnes and his men, prompting the ex-Rangers player to have a pop at the goal Rodgers’ team scored.

Moaning and complaining

Being gracious in defeat isn’t something that comes with anyone usually associated with the Ibrox club (old or new), and it was obvious from this interview with the national broadcaster, BBC Scotland, that he was never going to give us any kudos for winning that tie.

The man who works theRangers games for TNT Sport when they play in the Europa League was clearly in no mood for congratulating the Hoops without a caveat.

Sounded “churlish”

Despite admitting the fact whilst complaining about Celtic’s goal that it sounded “churlish”, as his team were battered in a first half flurry that should have seen his opponents at least three goals ahead, McInnes couldn’t help himself and so bemoaned not only that Celtic shouldn’t have had a free-kick, but that we took it from the wrong area and it gave us an unfair advantage!
