Netherlands assistant coach Ruud Gullit has apologised for posting a video of the side's dressing room on his Twitter account.

The 55-year-old uploaded a video of the Dutch players celebrating after a 3-1 victory over Bulgaria in the World Cup qualifier on Sunday at the Amsterdam Arena.

Head coach Dick Advocaat said his actions "weren't helpful".

Former midfielder Gulit said: "I made the clip because of over-enthusiasm. In hindsight, I shouldn't have."

Advocaat said that they have "put the incident behind them".

The victory meant Netherlands are still in with a slim chance of qualifying for the World Cup next year in Russia, as they sit in third place in Group A, four points behind leaders France and three behind second-placed Sweden.
