ALLY MCCOIST has revealed he was given a telling off by his MUM for his on-air VAR rant during last night's Europa League showdown between Rangers and Borussia Dortmund.
The Ibrox outfit had a goal chopped off after referee Matéu Lahoz adjudged Alfredo Morelos to have fouled Emre Can in the build-up.
McCoist raged after the decision, telling BT Sport: “Diabolical decision.
“Absolutely diabolical – he puts his foot in front of Morelos. There’s no contact from him. It’s a scandalous decision.”
And this morning the Ibrox hero has revealed that his mum was not impressed by his on-air rant.
He joked on talkSPORT: "I wasn't too well balanced when the referee disallowed that goal last night.
"Imagine getting a text at half 11 at night from your 94-year-old mother, telling you to calm down in commentary!"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
