Former Rangers striker Kenny Miller was met with nothing but blank stares when he showed off his man of the match champers to the Light Blues dressing room after a hard-fought win at Hamilton.
Because unbeknownst to him, he'd just sauntered into the post-match wreckage that followed a Walter Smith dressing down.
Having been dropped for an away day to Hamilton Accies following a hat-trick against Hibs in 2010 - the final season of Miller's second spell at Ibrox - he climbed off the bench to dink the winner in added time.
But he received no thanks from Smith or assistant Ally McCoist who was also still reeling.
And a cheeky quip towards his playing time went down like a lead balloon in the bowels of New Douglas Park.
Speaking to This Is Ibrox, Miller said: "We played Hamilton but we had a Champions League game next week. Walter pulls me on the Saturday morning and said, 'right, listen, I'm resting you'.
"I go, 'f*** off gaffer, I've just scored a hat-trick, you're not going to play me?'
"He goes, 'no, you're not playing, you've got Champions League and I'm resting you'. We go 1-0 up, (summer signing Nikica) Jelavic scored his first goal then they equalised.
"With like 15 to go, he goes, 'right, you're going on'. I score the winner in the 90th minute and we win 2-1.
"It was a bad, bad game. Rubbish game. I've got man of the match for coming on for 15 minutes.
"I'm away getting my champagne, buzzing, I've scored five goals in three games, three wins out of three at the start of the season.
"I go back in the dressing room, f****** buzzing. We've won the game, I've got my man of the match champagne, got my goal.
"Quiet. The place is dead. Super Ally is standing in the corner, even they're low.
"So I don't know this, but Walter gave them a dressing-down. I walk back in with my champagne and go across to Super.
"I go, 'look at that, 15 minutes! Imagine what would have happened if I played 90!'
"Walter is just sitting in the corner like that (arms folded), just staring. I'm like, 'oh for f*** sake', he's given them an absolutely doing and I'm going in all bubbly and chirpy.
"No thanks for scoring the winner! That's your job."
