Not a great look....

Tyrone boss Malachy O'Rourke has done a wonderful job with the Red Hands this summer, guiding them to the All-Ireland quarter-finals, with wins over Roscommon and Mayo.

Today's late win over the latter was a close encounter, which finished 0-22 to 1-18, after Niall Morgan's late two-point free.

However, O'Rourke's post-match celebrations were a briefly scuppered after a bottle from the stands stuck him near the head as he was going on to the pitch to congratulate players.

It is unclear who was the culprit was or if they have been found.
