THE Scottish Football Association yesterday condemned the violent scenes at Wednesday's Old Firm derby between Celtic and Rangers where coaches Neil Lennon and Ally McCoist had to be separated after an acrimonious confrontation.
"The unedifying sight of two of the country's most recognizable and respected coaches engaged in an angry confrontation was not only unsavory but exacerbated an already incendiary atmosphere inside the stadium and throughout the West of Scotland," said FA chief executive Stewart Regan.
"The Scottish FA categorically condemns the inflammatory and irresponsible behavior throughout last night's Scottish Cup replay between Celtic and Rangers at Celtic Park." Mark Wilson scored the only goal in which Celtic overcame nine-man Rangers to reach the Scottish Cup quarterfinals.
