Ally McCoist reminds Norwich moaner how Billy Gilmour fared against England ‘binmen’ in tag team radio roasting

Razor sharp Ally McCoist wasn't having it after hearing a Norwich fan rip into Billy Gilmour.

And after hearing radio phone-in moaner Joe have a go at the Chelsea loanee for performing only against Faroese "binmen", the Rangers legend had a pointed reminder about his man of the match display against England.

Phoning into talkSPORT, the Canaries fan explained recent chants ordering Scotland star Gilmour to go back to Stamford Bridge from his own fans.

It's left Blues fans and Tartan Army members alike bewildered at the criticism with many feeling he's been made a scapegoat for the basement Premier League side.

But Joe said: "It's not so much his performances that have caused him to get the stick, especially yesterday.

"It's more the backlash we get from the Chelsea support on social media, reviews from people such as yourselves who say, 'he's brilliant, he performs well for Scotland against binmen against the Faroe Islands. He's not putting in those performances for us."

But McCoist and morning co-host Alan Brazil, so often keen to wind up each other depending on how Rangers and Celtic are getting on, teamed up to tear Joe's argument to shreds.

Brazil quipped: "Joe, with the greatest of respect, most of the Faroe people are whalers, thatchers. They're not binmen, mate.

"And did young Billy not have a cracking game against England, Ally?"

McCoist took that as his signal in this tag-team effort and chipped in: "Well, that's what I said, they cut me off there.

"If they had that link on any longer that's exactly what I said.

"My next statement was I thought he did all right against the binmen from England.

"However, have you ever heard anything more silly in your life, Al?

"Joe's come on and said the Norwich fans are giving Billy Gilmour stick because of the Chelsea fans and what other people are writing.

"So that's why he thinks it's a good idea to give Billy Gilmour stick. You couldn't make it up; he's said 'any chance of survival'?

"I tell you, Joe: if you want any chance of survival, it's not turning on your own team."
