Crowds in Saudi haven't been great this season but the Rangers legend couldn't believe it when Brazil told him the figure.
Ally McCoist accused Alan Brazil of winding him up when he told him the crowd from Steven Gerrard's game in Saudi Arabia at the weekend.
The big four teams in the country – Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli – have attracted average crowds between 20,000 to 30,000 this season, but the drop off in attendances below that has been stark. Despite Gerrard jumping aboard and recruiting the likes of Jordan Henderson and Moussa Dembele, Ettifaq's home gate is only up by 1,000 to an average of 7,000 weekly spectators.
He guessed 12,000, before Brazil game him the real figure live on talkSPORT. And McCoist responded: "You're winding me up? I know I'm going to ask a silly question here, but was that a home game then?"
