Kevin Muscat shows off Rangers colours as he turns crowd cheerleader in jubilant Yokohama celebrations

Kevin Muscat has guided his Yokohama F Marinos side to an important victory – and he's been leading the celebration festivities in its aftermath.

And while some fans in Glasgow want to see him with the Rangers scarf above his head, it has been replaced for now with the red, white and blue umbrellas of Yokohama.

He can also be spotted interacting with supporters as he makes his way back to the changing rooms. In similar style to Jurgen Klopp's fist bumps to the Kop at Liverpool, he applauds those who have held back before waving his arms up in the air in unison with their cheers.

Defender Ryotaro Tsunoda was pleased Muscat's men were able to get a clean sheet, which has been a rarity of late. He told the Yokohama Express: "We haven't had many clean sheets this season, so it's meaningful to have two games in a row without
