Rangers fans have slaughtered John Lundtsram following his red card in their Old Firm defeat against Celtic on Saturday (11 May).

The Gers midfielder was initially handed a yellow card by referee Willie Collum for a forceful challenge on Hoops defender Alistair Johnston just before half-time.

Lundstram was then sent off moments later after the official deemed it was serious foul play from the 30-year-old following a VAR check.

It was an utterly miserable day for the Englishman after he put through his own net on 38 minutes as Celtic went 2-0 up in the game.

The Light Blues battled with 10 men throughout the second half, but their efforts weren't enough as Brendan Rodgers's side claimed a 2-1 victory at Celtic Park.

Rangers fans fume after John Lundtsram challenge

Rangers fans have criticised Lundstram for the challenge that led to his red card, with several of them calling for Philippe Clement to let him leave Ibrox this summer.

Will never understand that team selection. Lundstram has been shocking yet walked onto that pitch and cost rangers the opportunity to gain anything AGAIN. Manager has to take responsibility for that.

Lundstram at fault for both goals and gets sent off. Unbelievable man. Sack him now the scouse waste of space. Playing him over Raskin for so long is shocking anyway

John Lundstram with the worst performance I have ever seen, hall of shamer inductee

Shock horror Lundstram chucked it again.

Gets away with it all the time while Tav and Goldson get it.

Cant wait to see the back of him, he has cost us time and time again since 55z.

Cost us the game. Lost O’Reilly for the first, pathetic for the second and then you go and do that after getting back into the game. Clown👍🏻

Well done Lundstram

Scored an own goal, team gets back in the game & then you sold the jerseys a minute before half time with a needless lunge

There’s your senior leader

Hopefully never plays for us again

There is literally 0 to win from that tackle bar rattling the player a little but when is lundstrum really going to get near their RB to benefit from it.

From an 18 year old youd say that rash, from a senior player it's unforgivable

I hope Lundstram has a stinking rest of career when he leaves us in the summer 👎🏻

Thank you Lundstram, You handed them the title. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
— GiovannyWRZ (@GiovannyWRZ) May 11, 2024

Own goal, tracked no-one, gassed, then a red card. I never want to see him in a Rangers shirt again.
— David Stewart (@dstewart20) May 11, 2024

Should never play for us again, he's dreadful
— Dylan🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@SpursScotsman) May 11, 2024

Well done Lundstram. Single handedly gifted them the league. Just pop yourself on the plane to Turkey now. Thanks for the memories. Cheery bye
