McCoist added: “I can’t believe I’ve seen that.”
Commentator concurred, saying: “What an absolute waste of time that is.”
McCoist then replied: “Well it is for a team of their quality.”
Fletcher added: “I can understand if you hit it out for a throw in by the corner flag and get them penned in, but they’ve just smashed it out.”
McCoist said again: “I’m having that down as he’s picked the wrong option. He’s tried to go for a throw in surely.
“That cannot be any other reason.
“I mean, lord help us, the best passing team on the planet are doing that.”
McCoist initially refused to name a couple of teams who had used similar tactics, for fear of upsetting some people.
