A bald-headed Ally McCoist has recounted the disastrous mix-up that's left him a little thin on top.
The former Rangers star sported an accidental skinhead on Thursday morning and could barely hold back the laughter as he revealed how a case of mistaken identity had cost him dearly.
Appearing on talkSPORT , McCoist was roasted by co-host Alan Brazil, who joked he looked like a character from cult film A Clockwork Orange.
The Ibrox icon admitted being gobsmacked on trip to his regular barber when things took a hilarious turn for the worst.
"Oh man, I've had a disaster," McCoist said grimly.
Brazil asked: "What happened? Well, I can see what happened but how did it happen?"
Like any regular trip for a trim, as it happens.
McCoist said: "I went into my normal barbers, I did Al. I went in, it's a wee Turkish boy in Renfrew.
"I looked him and thought: 'There's something different about him today'.
"I thought it was the same guy, but I can now inform you it wasn't the same guy - it was his brother.
"So, I sat down in the chair-"
But Brazil interjected: "You look like something out of Clockwork Orange!"
McCoist, crestfallen, continued: "Aw man, don't. I sit down, he looks at me and I say: 'Normal one', because I go in all the time.
"He looks at me says: 'All over?'
"I said: 'Yeah'. Al, I'm not kidding you, he got that big razor thing and drew a big tramline, he started right up the middle of my head."
"Once that happens there's no way back," said Brazil, grinning.
"He must've looked at me and my jaw has clearly hit the barber's floor.
"He went: 'Number one?'
"And I went: "Normal one ya stupid-looking...' Anyway, it was a disaster!
"15 years ago, frankly I wouldn't have bothered my bunnet."
"You look alright!", Brazil said, trying to make his pal feel better.
McCoist, however, was having none of it: "But it might not be back, that's my point!"
