Former Liverpool team-mates Michael Owen and Jason McAteer were involved in an angry exchange during a six-a-side match in Glasgow on Sunday afternoon.

The pair clashed during the semi-final of the 2019 Star Sixes when England's Owen took a swipe at McAteer's leg and the Ireland midfielder responded by kicking the striker's buttocks.

Both men, who played together at Anfield between 1996 and 1999, appeared to make up as they touched hands, but that did not spare McAteer from the referee who dished out a straight red card for him, but not Owen.
