Tam McManus slams Celtic fan for taunting Rangers midfielder Todd Cantwell
It was a disappointing day at the office for Rangers, who are now four points behind leaders and defending champions Celtic in fourth place.
As you can see from the video below, a Celtic fan taunted Cantwell at an airport after the match.
And former Hibernian forward and PLZ Soccer pundit Tam McManus was not impressed.
Now, we know that Rangers and Celtic are massive rivals.
Some would say that the rivalry between Rangers and Celtic is the biggest and fiercest in the world.
However, there is no place for taunting players at airports or public places.
No place whatsoever.
And you do feel for Todd Cantwell.
Cantwell clearly cannot do anything while he is being taunted in public.
Can you imagine what would have happened if the 25-year-old midfielder had hit back at the Celtic fan?
We all love banter.
It is an essential part of football.
However, there is a time and place for it.
