CELTIC FANS FUMING OVER WHAT ONE RANGERS STAR POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS FANS DEMAND HE BE IMMEDIATELY BANNED FROM THE SCOTTISH LEAGUE

Tensions between Rangers and Celtic — Scotland’s fiercest football rivals — have exploded once again, this time not on the pitch, but on social media. A Rangers star has found himself at the center of a growing storm after posting a controversial message online that has left Celtic fans outraged and calling for immediate disciplinary action from the Scottish Football Association.

The post, which appeared on the player’s Instagram story late Sunday night, reportedly contained what many fans interpreted as a dig at Celtic following their recent league match. Though the player deleted the post shortly after it went viral, screenshots quickly spread across social platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, sparking heated debates among both sets of supporters.

Celtic fans have described the post as “disrespectful” and “provocative,” accusing the Rangers man of crossing the line and inciting hatred. Some have gone even further, tagging the Scottish FA and demanding that the player face suspension or even a temporary ban from the Scottish Premiership. “He represents one of the biggest clubs in Scotland — his behavior should reflect that,” one Celtic supporter fumed. “If the league allows this kind of arrogance to continue, then what message are they sending?”

Meanwhile, Rangers fans have largely rallied behind their star, defending his right to express himself and claiming that the backlash is an overreaction fueled by Celtic supporters’ insecurities. “It’s football banter — nothing more,” one Rangers fan commented online. “They can dish it out all season, but when one of ours bites back, it’s suddenly offensive?”

The Scottish FA has yet to release an official statement on the incident, but insiders suggest that the governing body is “monitoring the situation closely.” If the post is deemed to have breached social media conduct guidelines, the player could face fines or disciplinary action.

This controversy comes at a time when both clubs are locked in an intense title race, with emotions already running high ahead of the next Old Firm derby. The latest drama only adds fuel to the fire, setting the stage for what could be one of the most emotionally charged fixtures of the season.

Regardless of how this saga unfolds, one thing is certain — the rivalry between Rangers and Celtic extends far beyond the football pitch. In an era where a single post can go viral within seconds, every move a player makes online is under the microscope. And for this Rangers star, that one post may have just reignited the flames of one of football’s oldest and fiercest rivalries.
