Ally McCoist slams ‘sickening & pathetic’ Kurt Zouma for slapping a cat

Former Rangers boss Ally McCoist has blasted Kurt Zouma after a video surfaced of the West Ham United footballer slapping and abusing his pet cat.

The Frenchman has apologised after the Sun obtained a video in which Zouma can be seen picking up and throwing his cat, while he also launched objects at the feline.

Though the Metropolitan Police do not plan on investigating the video, West Ham have vowed to hold an internal enquiry.

And McCoist has summed up the public reaction to the video by slamming Zouma for his ‘sickening’ behaviour.

However, due to the fact that we came on and have to talk about these things, I had to have a look at it.

‘It was sickening, it was pathetic, it was bullying of the extreme. I don’t know, again, it just tarnishes the image of professional footballers. It was embarassing, shocking and horrible at the same time. It was all of those things.

‘To commit and do what he did is the most horrendous of
