Head thrown in Rangers-Celtic game: ‘It’s fine by me’

The Celtic-Rangers derby, known as the Old Firm, was staged this time in women’s football. However, it was not the struggle of the players on the field, but the headbutt of a coach to the coach.

Caitlin Hayes of Celtic 90+9. He had the last word in the minute and ensured that his team came out with a draw from the tough game away from home. Celta coach Fran Alonso, who entered the field at the final whistle and congratulated his players, was stunned when he shook hands with a footballer.

Rangers assistant manager Craig McPherson approached his colleague from behind, who was enjoying his football players on the pitch, and headbutted him. Surprised by what happened, the people around them intervened until the Spanish coach Alonso got over the scare.

After Hayes’ goal in the last minute, the tension on the bench between the two teams continued between the managers at the end of the game. However, Celtic manager Alonso has said that he would not want the Rangers manager to receive a prolonged ban despite the horrible attack.

“LITTLE MOUSE”

“The reason for this move is disappointment,” Alonso said. “If I had a similar disappointment, I wouldn’t have shown it this way. But we’ve had it, and I understand why. This is football. These are emotions. It didn’t hit too hard. I felt a little touch and then I heard you call me ‘little mouse’. I don’t know why and why.” He used the phrases.

“IT’S NOT A PROBLEM FOR ME”

Stating that they had no discussions during the match, Alonso said: “To be honest, it doesn’t mean anything to me. We can just leave it here as part of the game. I don’t want it to be banned or suspended. It’s not something you want to see, but it’s okay. for me”. saying.

On the other hand, Rangers manager Malky Thomson admitted that his assistant’s move was no big deal, but the Ibrox club would investigate:

I won’t comment until I see it. If this is the case, an investigation will be launched. Craig is not that kind of person. I think it’s that passion and we’ve seen a lot of that in the matches the two teams have faced on the pitch.”
