Ally McCoist laughs at Celtic as Rangers hero gets his own back

Rangers legend Ally McCoist couldn't resist the chance to get revenge on his radio mate Alan Brazil following Celtic's embarrassing Champions League play-off defeat last night.

Brendan Rodgers' side crashed out of qualifying after losing on penalties to Kairat Almaty.

The defeat means the Hoops will play Europa League league phase football this season.

Which looks likely to be Rangers' fate as well as they go into tonight's second leg against Club Brugge 3-1 down.

Brazil was joined by Gabby Agbonlahor in the talkSPORT studio this morning as they discussed last night's action.

As they pair said good morning to McCoist, super Ally could be heard laughing, before the camera panned to his selfie video streamed from his mobile phone in Brugge, where viewers could see him howling.

"By the way, I've not even went to my bed because I didn't want to sleep in for this," he joked. "I've stayed up for seven hours big yin.

"Walk on through the rain? It must be pouring in that studio let me tell you."

Brazil chimed in: "Just you wait until you get a few Stella's over in Bruges tonight. Laugh all you like."

McCoist added: "I watched it pal. Deary me. I know we sent each other a wee message mate but in all seriousness it's not a laughing matter.

"I mean Celtic clearly are still domestically better than Rangers at this moment. I know we've got a big game on Sunday. 

"But does it tell you where we are as a nation?"

It follows on from Brazil's conversation with fellow Celtic fan broadcaster Shebahn Aherne earlier this morning. 

Shebahn said: "I watched the penalty shoot-out with the kids last night and then I got up this morning like 'crack on, still in the Europa League, we're not good enough to be in the Champions League, we've not invested, we've not spent any money, not replaced anyone who can score goals, crack on.

"Then I got in at five to six with a brave face and then you came on and now I want to crawl back under my bed and never be seen again!"

Brazil added: "What am I meant to say?

"I gave it to Ally last week and he's got every right to give it to me this morning."

Shebahn then asked: "Do you believe in karma? Because I believe we mugged Ally off so much last week, and now we're like that."

Brazil wasn't having that, responding: "I don't believe in karma."

Shebahn then said: "I think we've got what we were due, Gabby!"
