Ally McCoist stunned by Rangers 'ball boy' complaint as he insists Celtic were doing Gio van Bronckhorst a favour

Rangers icon Ally McCoist wasn't having any of Gio van Bronckhorst's complaints about time-wasting from Celtic Park ballboys.

Celtic were in rampant form as they battered their city rivals, but that wasn't what was concerning the Ibrox boss as his side searched for a route into the game.

The Sky Sports commentary team claimed that the Rangers gaffer has told the officials that the ballboys were taking to long to give the ball back to his players.

Referee Bobby Madden could be seen walking over to the touchline to discuss the issue with a member of the behind the scenes Celtic team.

It immediately raised eyebrows from commentators Andy Walker and McCoist.

Walker laughed it off, insisting that the Dutchman "surely has bigger things to worry about" with his side failing to make an impact on the game.

McCoist brushed aside any complaints from the manager, joking: "I have to be quite honest I think the ball boys are doing Rangers a favour'."
