Mixed Rangers fan reaction to Jordan Jones Celtic song storm

Add as preferred source on Google

Summer Rangers signing Jordan Jones might’ve landed himself in hot water with Steven Gerrard for his challenge on Celtic full-back Mortiz Bauer last weekend [Football Scotland], but has he just committed the unforgivable to the Ibrox fans?

The Northern Ireland international risked the ire of Gers boss after his reckless challenge saw him sent down the tunnel and pick up an injury in the process.

But now a video has emerged – shared by Jordan Jones on his own Snapchat account – of the 24-year-old winger allegedly singing the Celtic symphony.

The video – of which the legitimacy/timescale is yet to be confirmed – has naturally been met with friction by frustrated Gers fans.

There are some who believe that if Jones is guilty of singing the song he deserves all the criticism coming his way, and even in some cases a ban/transfer.

But by-and-large most supporters who’ve spoken out about the incident have decided to give the winger the benefit of the doubt.

Many even claim this is an older video from Jones’ time in Kilmarnock.

Whatever the case, this storm in a teacup tops off what’s been a very challenging international break for the flying winger.

Not only did that tackle lead to injury, but Rangers boss Steven Gerrard refused to include Jones in the club’s Europa League Group Stage squad.

Not only does Jones have some making up to do to Steven Gerrard, but it also appears he’s got plenty to do for the fans now too.
