Troubled Malky Mackay admits sense of pride after Cardiff City fans chant his name at Wigan

Former Bluebirds boss Malky Mackay was thrilled by the ovation he got from the travelling fans even though his Wigan team were beaten

Malky Mackay claimed hearing his name chanted by Cardiff City fans once more will live with him after Bluebirds supporters offered the Scot sympathy his former side did not.

Despite the scandal that followed the aftermath of Mackay's controversial Cardiff exit, the travelling supporters at the DW Stadium sang the former City chief's name early in the first-half of this crucial 1-0 Bluebirds win.

Troubled Wigan manager Mackay responded by saluting the away end with an 'Ayatollah' and later admitted a sense of pride that his achievements in winning top-flight promotion with the club had not been completely washed away with the text-gate fall-out following his sacking.

However, such support ended there as former Mackay player Aron Gunnrasson handed Russell Slade's side a much needed victory to end their extended winless run.

Still, quizzed on whether it was a tough evening given past events and if he wasn't sure of the reception he would receive from the away fans, Mackay said: “That was something I am immensely proud of. I had a terrific time at Cardiff, I loved the city and being at the football club.

For me that sums the bloke up. He must be fu##ing deaf and so much up his own backside. The chants in his favour totalled 2. The chants taking the piss out of him for sending racist texts were numerous in comparison.

What a jerk!
