Rangers manager Philippe Clement took a dig at Kilmarnock’s plastic pitch after his side cruised to a 4-0 win over FCSB at Ibrox.
And Killie boss Derek McInnes – who was on punditry duties for TNT Sport last night - was quick to fire back at the Belgian.

In his post-match TV interview after Thursday's Europa League win at Ibrox, Clement commented: "A football game on grass, it is always more pleasant for everybody to see and watch and to play.
"My players had a really good reaction to the disappointment of the weekend."
As the TNT pundits discussed the Gers’ tough run of fixtures in the coming weeks, including a visit from St Mirren on Sunday before a midweek clash with Aberdeen – along with European trips to Nice, Athens and Old Trafford – McInnes quipped: "And the good thing is they're all on grass pitches."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
