Rangers legend Ally McCoist has sent a message of congratulations to Neil Lennon on his new job - but joked of the Celtic legend's 'total contempt' for their Friday six-a-side match.
Lennon was recently appointed manager of Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia in a return to management just over a year on from his departure from a second stint with Celtic.
Although fierce rivals during their coaching days on opposite sides of the Old Firm fence, Lennon and McCoist are now firm friends off the pitch.
The pair even play six-a-side games in Glasgow on Friday nights, and while McCoist congratulated Lennon on his new gig, he jokingly voiced his concerns over the future of their small-sided clashes.
When asked about the appointment on talkSPORT, McCoist said: "It give us a problem, and I'll tell you why: we need to find another body for the six-a-sides on a Friday.
"He's gone there, he's shown our six-a-side squads on a Friday total contempt. He hasn't discussed his move to Cyprus with any of the boys at the six-a-side and he's left us with 11 men.
"Neil, I clearly wish you all the best in Cyprus but I want to know who your replacement is at the six-a-sides!
"In all seriousness, magic. I'm really pleased for him.
"I spoke to him a couple of times - a good few times - and I did say to him, 'get yourself out the road, get yourself away somewhere in Europe or America, go and enjoy yourself for a couple of years'.
"I'm pleased he's back in the game and I hope he gets the opportunity to do that."
McCoist managed Rangers from 2011 until 2015, with Lennon at the helm at Celtic from 2010 until 2014 in his first managerial spell at the club.
