Ally McCoist did not hold back with his celebrations when Rangers took the lead in their Champions League clash against Liverpool on Wednesday.

Having lost their first three group games, Rangers knew they needed to get at least a point to stand any chance of progressing to the knockout rounds of the competitions.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side made a fast start and went ahead in the 17th minute when Scott Arfield latched onto Ryan Jack's through ball and finished into the bottom corner.

At half time, BT Sport showed the reaction of McCoist to the goal, and it's fair to say that he thoroughly enjoyed it. 

McCoist, who played for and managed Rangers, was ecstatic with Arfield's goal as he hugged fellow pundit Rio Ferdinand and punched the air in delight while celebrating with the home fans at Ibrox.

The 60-year-old could also be heard shouting 'get in there!' as Rangers went ahead against their Premier League opponents. 

Ferdinand couldn't contain his excitement either, with the ex-Manchester United defender banging on the studio window as the ball hit the back of the net.

The goal was a well-worked one, with Rangers pressing high up the pitch to win the ball off Fabio Carvalho before bursting forward to score.

Analysing the goal at the interval, Michael Owen praised Rangers for opening Liverpool up, and felt it highlighted familiar vulnerabilities for Jurgen Klopp's side.

'It was a beautiful finish, but it was a carbon copy of that first Arsenal goal against Liverpool,' Owen said, referring back to the Reds' trip to the Emirates on Sunday.

'Not the finish, but the way they’ve carved through the midfield, the way they’ve got their men behind the midfield two of Liverpool.'
