'Weasel', 'Classless, obsessive & trashy' - Rangers fans slam Celtic ace after public comments

Dave is a huge Leeds fan and ardent disciple of Bielsa ball. 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.

Leigh Griffiths has angered Rangers fans after he nominated Pedro Caixinha as Celtic's Player of the Year at their recent annual awards.

The former Rangers manager had a disastrous reign at Ibrox that ended with him getting sacked in October.

Graeme Murty took over as new manager but failed to bridge the gulf between the two sides and suffered a humiliating 4-0 loss in the recent Scottish Cup semi-final.

The two sides are due to play again at Celtic Park on Sunday in what could be the season's title decider.

Celtic will win the Premiership if they beat Rangers and the already bad blood has been made worse after Griffith's comments.

In a video shown at the awards he said: "My player of the year this year is Pedro Caixinha."

Rangers fans haven't taken to this too kindly and swarmed onto Twitter to react to the Celtic player.

Here are the best reactions from angry fans:

Leigh griffiths thanking our ex manager at their player of the year awards goes to show what a classless obsessive and trashy club they are. Could you imagine any current Rangers player do that 😂 weird!!
