Godwin ObajeAlly McCoist Slams Glasgow Derby as “Biggest Embarrassment”
Former Rangers striker Ally McCoist has criticized the Glasgow derby between Rangers and Celtic, calling it the “biggest embarrassment” in the fixture’s history. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Ibrox, with Celtic dominating the second half and coming close to winning the game.
Lack of Intensity
McCoist expressed his disappointment with the lack of intensity and needle in the game, saying it was a “strange” feeling. “It was a strange game, it really was, to be honest,” McCoist said. “All kidding aside, the fact that there were only two yellow cards, and they were young kids, in the 88th and 90th minutes. It probably did tell you a little bit about the game.”
Limited Yellow Cards
McCoist was particularly critical of the limited number of yellow cards given during the game. “The first player booking 88th minute. There were two player bookings in the Glasgow derby,” he said. “Ally, you should be ashamed of yourself. That was utter woke nonsense.”
Conclusion
McCoist’s comments highlight the disappointment and frustration felt by many fans and pundits after the Glasgow derby. Despite the intense rivalry between the two teams, the game lacked the usual intensity and competitiveness. As McCoist pointed out, the limited number of yellow cards and lack of physicality in the game were notable. The draw may have been a point for both teams, but it was clear that the game did not live up to its reputation.
