Rino Gattuso squares up to ex-Rangers transfer target

This is the moment that Rino Gattuso let loose towards a former Rangers transfer target.

Known for being a hot head on the pitch, it will be a surprise to no one that his temper has translated into management as well. 

After several stints in club management, Gattuso is now the head coach of the Italian national side.

He watched on in delight as they scored a last-gasp winner through Newcastle's Sandro Tonali to beat Israel 5-4 last night.

Tensions were high after the game, as both sets of players took part in a coming together around the halfway line.

At first, it seemed that Gattuso was in the vicinity to clear the trouble, and calm things down.

However, when Dor Turgeman, a former recruitment target for Rangers, told him to 'control his players,' this is when Gattuso snapped.

DAZN captured footage of the former midfielder having to be held back by one of his own players as he squared up to Turgeman. 

As he got closer to the Israeli striker, Gattuso roared: "Shut the f*** up."

Eli Dasa, Israel's captain, said post-match: "An argument broke out, they were very, very emotional.

"They felt they were not in the game, and we deserved to win, and they tried to provoke a bit. It is part of football, so we moved on.”
