9 instances when managers lost their cool on the touchline

#2 Ally McCoist and Neil Lennon have a go at each other

It was the turn of the managers of Celtic and Rangers to have a go at each other

The Old Firm derby between Celtic and Rangers is one of the fiercest derbies in the world. There have been many clashes in the stands and on the pitch throughout the history of this derby but Neil Lennon and Alan McCoist extended that war into the technical area when the two sides met in the knockout round of Scottish Cup on March 2nd, 2011.

In a fiery affair at the Celtic Park that saw thirteen cautions and three sending offs, the row between Celtic manager Neil Lennon and Rangers assistant manager Alan McCoist at the end of the match was the main flashpoint.

The two shook hands after Celtic’s 1-0 win but something was said by McCoist which really angered Lennon. The two Scots squared up and pushed each other around after a few verbal assaults, and had to be separated by their respective teams to avoid further violence.

The match ended 1-0 in Celtic’s favour, although both managers picked up bans for their conduct, with Lennon getting a four-match ban as opposed to McCoist’s two due to his previous disciplinary record.
