Ally McCoist sets Hotline on flames as Rangers hero warned he has some nerve for only getting offended now

It seems more people are upset by Ally McCoist's criticism of the Tartan Army's booing off the national anthem than they were by the result that followed against England at Hampden.

Brian Hendry said: "So Ally McCoist is branding the Scotland fans 'SNP fans' because they booed God Save The King? He never has a word to say about the home support being up to their knees...every second week at his beloved Ibrox, which is more offensive than booing a national anthem."

John Scott, Port Glasgow , added: "Re Ally McCoist's "disappointment" with Scotland fans booing God Save The King. Why isn't he asking why the ENGLAND team is using the BRITISH national anthem? Also booing does not make a person an SNP supporter, perhaps they are just not royalists or or perhaps they are familiar with the deleted verse from the song." Gerry Campbell said: "I had to laugh at Ally's comments on the fans booing the National Anthem. I can remember the 60s and 70s when 50,000 Rangers fans would go to Scotland games and boo the National Anthem then sing Flower of Scotland before booing every Celtic player in the team."

But Andrew Lamb, Fraserburgh , said: "Despite all the hot air from the usual SNP supporting kilt wearers , Scotland were made to look ordinary by a far superior England team, and the fans who booed the national anthem resemble the Oompa Loompas."

As for the match, Drew Ferguson, Oban, said: "When will reality set in? Scotland are a second tier nation with respect to their football both internationally and domestically - and this is the best Scotland team in decades, we are being told."

Kevin Kean, Inchinnnan , emailed: "Disappointed with Clarke's strategy. We were on front foot after the Cyprus game, we should have had an opening
