The pressure of the title race is not doing Rangers any good over the last weeks. It seems that chasing Celtic for Scotland’s top prize is too much for the Ibrox club.
Already we have seen Brendan Rodgers play superb games in the media after he broke Follow Follow and Philippe Clement in the build-up to the Glasgow Derby.
This morning I also told how Borna Barisic also had a fight with a Rangers fan outside Ibrox after his team’s win over Kilmarnock.

But as Rangers trailed Kilmarnock at the weekend, and before VAR stepped in, it did look like another Ibrox defeat and meltdown was on the cards.
Rangers told to rip up Silva’s contract
Fabio Silva scored Rangers’ equaliser against Kilmarnock and it is what he did during his goal celebration absolutely rattled the Ibrox support:
Rip up that loan contract and send him back.

It’s no more than what David Turnbull and Greg Taylor did when they were being criticised by the Celtic support for their performances at the beginning of the season.
It’s part and parcel of football. If you can dish out criticism but can’t take it back then maybe, just maybe, you shouldn’t be involved in football.
Like these lovely chaps at Follow Follow:
little wonder we capitulated with that in the side

Apparently it’s not his diving that makes Silva a cheat:
Get him gone, an absolute charlatan.

One Rangers fan was absolutely fuming with him:
Shows the lack of mentality he has, done f–k all since he joined scores an equaliser at home after fu–ing the league up an goes on like that 😬 embarrassing for him

This is the reply of the thread. Simple, effective and reflective of what Celtic fans have been saying about him for weeks:
Fu–ing bawbag

Of course, this is not the first time the toxic fan forum has gone in two-footed on Fabio Silva. The Portuguese winger’s Glasgow Derby antics didn’t go down well with the Bears.
And it seems, now, that they have had enough of the master of simulation. And in the build-up to the derby as well. Beautiful.
