Paolo Di Canio launched into an astonishing rant in opposition to Jose Mourinho as he insisted beating Bodo/Glimt within the Europa Convention League deserved no reward.
In a hilarious tirade the previous Celtic star insisted the Parkhead conquerors from the knockout spherical play-off have been "salmon fishermen" who had been "unloading from the harbour" earlier than Mourinho's Roma beat them 4-0 of their dwelling second leg.
Di Canio, who revealed final 12 months he'd been supplied the Hoops job when Neil Lennon stop in 2014, is now a predictably outspoken TV pundit in Italy and his evaluation of the tie was scathing.
The firebrand former striker drew on the frequent "farmers' league" trope and gave it a Nordic twist to belittle Mourinho's males making the semi-finals.
He stated: "Jose Mourinho calls for reward for reaching the semi-final of this competitors, but we criticised Inter Milan for dropping to Liverpool, who will most likely win the Champions League.
"Bodo/Glimt have been a workforce made up from a bunch of salmon fishermen.
"You do realise that seven of them have been unloading salmon from the harbour that day? But Roma and Mourinho have one way or the other managed to lose ten targets to this workforce this season.
"Look, Jose Mourinho is a fable. They are saying the stadium was full, however that was solely as a result of they gave tickets away at 5 Euros.
"Sufficient with this bulls***. It is utterly ridiculous to have fun a win over such a workforce as Bodo/Glimt. I do know Roma properly and their followers will not be fooled by this."
