The Celtic Women head coach, Fran Alonso, said he was called a “little rat” as footage appeared to show him being head-butted by a member of the Rangers coaching staff following the two sides’ 1-1 draw in the Scottish Women’s Premier League.

Rangers appeared to be on the verge of securing victory at Broadwood on Monday, until Caitlin Hayes’s equaliser in the ninth minute of injury time ensured the rivals would share the points.
