The former Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Queens Park Rangers manager attracted attention on social media after being spotted in Leith alongside the ex-Celtic chairman.

Malcom Macpherson is a friend of mine and was the chairman at Hibs at one time. Malky Mackay, I met with them and went for a bit of lunch.”
