Rangers have stopped following Nnamdi Ofoborh on Instagram after a controversial post from the player regarding his time at Ibrox.

The Gers midfielder took to the social media platform to insist the truth will out regarding his time in Glasgow, with the 23-year-old yet to play for the club due to high-profile heart problems.

Rangers signed the player alongside Jack Simpson on a pre-contract from Bournemouth in the summer of 2021 but after the switch the club’s medical department picked up the problem in routine screenings.

Nnamdi Ofoborh sends cryptic Instagram message

Since then, the career of Nnamdi Ofoborh has come to a screeching halt and the player has chosen now to take to Instagram in a cryptic message over his Ibrox experience.

The player slammed “mistreatment” over the issues and bit back at the suggestion he was the “bad guy” as the tense and emotional situation became public.

Also sharing images of himself post-operation and hooked up to an ECG, the player has since deleted the posts but they remain circulating the internet.

The post reads:

“Two years, two operations, 100s of appointments, silent on the situation so I look like the bad guy. All the mistreatment of the last two years will come out.”

Rangers stop following their own player on Instagram

Now, Rangers fans have noticed that both the club and Nnamdi Ofoborh have stopped following each other on Instagram as the spat takes a new twist.

We don’t have any insider information regarding this situation but it does appear that there has been a breakdown in the relationship somewhere and the situation comes at a negative time for the club.

It never tends to rain at Ibrox so much as it pours and amid much off and on pitch frustrations this has just added to the negativity and drama surrounding the club.

The Nnamdi Ofoborh Instagram post and the fact Rangers have stopped following the player have also given rise to rumours that the player’s contract has been severed.

Ofoborh signed a four-year deal with the club in the summer of 2021, meaning that Rangers will have had to negotiate up to two years of his contract with the deal heaping yet more scrutiny on the club’s recruitment.

Meanwhile, any Rangers deal for Malik Tillman could depend on the future of two Bayern icons.
