Ally McCoist reckons Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte's spat has nothing on his fiery encounter with Neil Lennon. The Rangers legend delivered a quip about his infamous fall out with the former Celtic boss during discussions about the Tuchel vs Conte drama which unfolded after Sunday's London derby.

The Chelsea and Tottenham bosses were both sent off after a furious confrontation following the final whistle. But he reckons the drama doesn't match that of the Old Firm Scottish Cup clash back in March 2011.

Their coming together saw a Scottish Cup fist round replay clash at Celtic Park descend into chaos, with then assistant manager McCoist and Hoops boss Lennon squaring up upon the final whistle.

The game itself had its fair share of drama with Steven Whittaker and Madjid Bougherra seeing red for second bookable offences before El Hadji Diouf sent off after the final whistle for antagonising behaviour after approaching referee Calum Murray.

Usyk, the undefeated former cruiserweight world champion, won on an unanimous decision in only his third professional fight as a heavyweight.
