Two of Glasgow’s football icons had an unexpected reunion this week — at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris.

Rangers legend Ally McCoist bumped into former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and captured the moment with a quick selfie, later posting it to Instagram with the caption: "The people you meet at the CDG when you've not shaved or got a jacket on."

The meeting came just after McCoist had been in town to commentate on the Champions League semi-final clash between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.

The electrifying match saw PSG claim a 2–1 victory in front of a roaring home crowd at Parc des Princes.

McCoist shared several photos from the night, including a video showing the packed stadium with the caption: "Getting lively."

The former striker admitted he felt slightly underdressed when running into the iconic Sir Alex, who was also in the French capital to watch the game.

Adding to the humor, a fan commented on McCoist’s post:" Did he give you a Bollocking over your appearance?"

McCoist simply replied: "Yes."

Fans flooded the post with love for the reunion, with one commenting: "Super photo, legends both."

With another writing: Fergie looking well there."
