John Lundstram includes that Celtic vs Rangers tackle in highlights reel

John Lundstram has left Rangers as the midfielder moves on to the next steps of his career.

The 30-year-old paid an emotional farewell to the Ibrox club today, as he penned a lengthy goodbye message on his Instagram.

His long caption was accompanied by a highlights reel too, though. 

And there's one moment of that video that hasn't gone down well with Rangers fans.

The ex-Sheffield United man's form dipped during his final six months in Glasgow. He started well under Philippe Clement after the Belgian's arrival, however, he struggled to recapture his form that saw him play such a vital role in the team as he'd done so previously.

This was compounded by a horror first-half showing against Celtic in the derby at Celtic Park last month. 

Lundstram scored an own goal before getting himself sent off moments later for a wild challenge on Alistair Johnston.

And it's THAT tackle that has wound up some Rangers fans on social media, as they claim it was his errors that cost them the Scottish Premiership title.

Of course, the player included that clip of the challenge in his reel. 

And this was pointed out by one eagle-eyed fan. They wrote on X: "Goodbye/Highlight video on his Instagram actually has the red card tackle (along with his general form) that helped cost us a title."

Several other Rangers fans piled on, with one brutal comment in particular reading: "Never been happier to see back of a player, be a great player for Cardiff or West Brom but should never ever be heartbeat of a team that has pressure to win every week."

Some Celtic fans, obviously with their tongue firmly in their cheek, commented:  "No sign of his cracking finish for the second?" and "Best Celtic signing ever."
