As much as many of us (though probably not all of us) have a soft for Terry Butcher, it's safe to say not everyone was won over by his attempt to inject a bit of humour into the Friday night match between Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Rangers.

Needless to say, viewers were never not going to pounce on...
