RIO FERDINAND trolled Manchester United's legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson after Scotland lost their Euro 2020 opener to Czech Republic.

The Scots lost 2-0 at Hampden Park on Monday and Ferdinand was quick to get on to his old boss to give him some stick.

Patrik Schick scored either side of half-time to give the Czechs the win in Glasgow.

The first was a pin-point header from West Ham star Vladimir Coufal's cross.

And the second was the goal-of-the-tournament so far as the striker bent a phenomenal effort up and around David Marshall from 50 YARDS out.

The result put Scotland bottom of Group D but Ferdinand had no time for sympathy.

Speaking on his Vibe With Five YouTube show Ferdinand had a wicked glint in his eye and said: "Sir Alex Ferguson has been on my phone all morning.

"Let me see if I can text him back right now!

"I'm gonna text him now: 'Are you OK boss?'"

Fergie and Ferdinand worked together for 11 years at Old Trafford between 2002 and 2013 and remain in contact.

And despite England getting their Euro campaign off to a perfect start with a 1-0 win over Croatia, Fergie still reckons the Scots will get the better of the Three Lions at Wembley on Friday.

Ferdinand added: "He thinks they are going to beat us.

"He thinks they're going to overrun England."
