Neil Lennon reveals details of infamous Ally McCoist bust up | OneFootball

Neil Lennon has opened up about the incident that led to a Scottish Government summit. In the wake of Celtic’s 1-0 Scottish Cup Replay win over Rangers, the Celtic manager clashed with Ally McCoist in an evening that saw three Rangers players dismissed.

The firebrand Irishman refused to backdown when confronted by McCoist after the Final Whistle but both big personalities have refused to be drawn into what happened that infamous night. Speaking to Open Goal, Lennon revealed what actually happened.

This is likely a PG version from Lennon, who has cut out expletives shared between himself and the renowned co-commentator. The pair have since reconciled their differences but at the time, in a fierce season, both refused to concede any quarter.

Lennon revealed that both he and McCoist were on the receiving end from Rangers boss Walter Smith after the game. No surprises that veteran Smith was less than impressed with the touchline antics that sparked a melee.
