Nicolas Raskin in pointed Celtic 'silence' message as jubilant Rangers fans decode derby gloat

Delighted Rangers fans have lapped up Nicolas Raskin's post match celebrations - decoding a snap as a message to "silence" Celtic after their derby day victory.

The 22-year-old midfielder was among the top performers at Ibrox as Michael Beale brought an end to his wait for a win over Ange Postecoglou's side with a convincing 3-0 victory over the Scottish Premiership champions. The Belgium U21 international put in a dominant performance in the Ibrox engine room and took to social media to celebrate the victory over their Glasgow rivals - his first taste of derby joy since joining the club from Standard Liege in January.

After the full-time whistle he posted a message to Instagram with a series of images from the game, stating: "Day by day. Week by week. Trust the process. We Are The People." One image caught the eye of the Ibrox support with a Rangers fan wearing a mask gesturing for silence.

On social media fans took that as a message to their rivals after the final derby showdown of the campaign. One fan branded it "so sick." And another chimed in on Twitter stating Raskin was "some boy" after his post and performance.

Celtic fans moved to shut the jibe down. One Parkhead punter stated in response to Raskin: "We can’t be quiet, we’re too busy celebrating being champions again."
