THIS is the awkward moment a member of the Rangers backroom staff was SHOVED by Manchester United star Rasmus Hojlund after being caught up in their stoppage time celebrations.
Old Trafford witnessed a dramatic end to the Europa League clash, as the Battle of Britain fixture finished in a 2-1 win for the hosts.
Jack Butland punched the ball into his own net to give United the lead in the 52nd minute but had his blushes spared – momentarily – by Cyriel Dessers.
The Nigerian international produced a brilliant turn and finish to capitalise on a Harry Maguire error and grab an equaliser in the 88th minute.
But in the second of five minutes added time, Red Devils skipper Burno Fernandes escaped the attentions of Jefte to pop up with the winner – putting the ball through Butland’s legs in the process.
The strike led to wild celebrations from the home support and the United players.
And one man who was caught up in it was Rangers assistant kitman, David MacGregor.
As the clocked ticked down in Manchester, MacGregor (who played over 250 games for Morton and had stints with Stranraer and Queen‘s Park before hanging up his boots) was heading up the tunnel prior to full-time in order to carry out his post-match duties.
But it was as he was walking down the touchline towards the Old Trafford tunnel that Fernandes hit the back of the net.
And as the Portugal star and his team mates headed for the corner near the tunnel to celebrate with their fans, it put them on a collision course with the unfortunate MacGregor, with the incident picked up by the live TV cameras on the night.

MacGregor tried to make his way past Fernandes but it was clear the midfielder was in no mood to budge.
Fernandes gave MacGregor a stern look and as he tried to force his way past again, Hojlund got involved.
The Danish striker put his hand on MacGregor and vigorously pushed him out of their way.
MacGregor didn’t retaliate in either situation and was eventually able to continue towards the dressing room.
The result leaves Rangers in 13th place in the Europa League but because of other results, they have clinched a place in the play-off round.
