'Embarrassment', 'Missed the point' – Rangers fans react after official Celtic tweet trolls over 'The Broony'

A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

It doesn't take a lot for Rangers and Celtic fans to go at it, so a tweet celebrating seven years of 'The Broony' was always going to be contentious. The infamous goal celebration came in an Old Firm clash in the Scottish Cup in 2011, with Celtic 2-1 down at Ibrox. Scott Brown scored in front of the away fans and then ran to celebrate right in front of Rangers player El-Hadji Diouf. Celtic marked the occasion with a tweet on its official Twitter page on Tuesday, with an emoji with a hand covering a smile.

Rangers had the last laugh that season, going onto complete a league and cup double, a fact which a number of Rangers fans pointed out in reply. Here are the best reactions from Rangers fans to 'The Broony' tweet put out by Celtic:

I think you may have missed the point somewhat.
