Craig McPherson was handed a six-match ban for a headbutt. Due to his headbutt on Celtic Women boss Fran Alonso, Rangers Women coach Craig McPherson has been banned for six games by the Scottish Football Association. After the Old Firm matched last month, McPherson approached Alonso on the Broadwood Stadium pitch, and the incident is also the subject of a police investigation. The 52-year-old has proactively apologized to Alonso for the occurrence, depicting his behavior as “bizarre.”

In a statement earlier this month, he said:
“I know I have severely let myself, our team, and the club down. I hold myself to the highest of standards and have never done anything like this before in a long coaching career, and I know I fell way short of that with my actions.
“This club is also built on incredibly high standards, and I have already apologized to the board, the football staff, and our fantastic group of players, who I care about dearly.
“I would also like to apologize to the Rangers fans, as I know what a privilege it is to represent this club in any capacity. So, I am sorry that I did not uphold the standards this club demands on this occasion.
