A number of Glasgow Rangers fans were fuming after an image of an "appalling" tackle on Ryan Kent surfaced on social media.

Twitter user @Time3Rag uploaded a screenshot of a nasty challenge being put in on the 'Gers winger in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Hibernian, with one of the home side's players going in with studs showing on the back of his left ankle just as the 23-year-old had laid the ball off.

The game at Easter Road was littered with contentious incidents, including an elbow from Paul Hanlon on Ianis Hagi and an unsubtle Ryan Porteous challenge on Alfredo Morelos (as per Sky Sports). While both elicited yellow cards, Steven Gerrard felt afterwards that stronger action should have been taken by referee Don Robertson.

A week previously, several 'Gers fans raged at referee Kevin Clancy after he failed to send off Dundee United's Liam Smith for a knee-high challenge on Brandon Barker which saw the Ibrox winger forced off through injury.

The image of the foul on Kent drew further ire from plenty of the Ibrox faithful, one of whom remarked "This is Scottish football" in a jibe at the treatment of the 'Gers, who fought a long-running battle with the SPFL earlier this year over the early curtailment of the 2019/20 season:
