Leicester City lost to Newcastle United in the Premier League at the weekend.
Simpson featured for Leicester against Newcastle at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League this past Saturday afternoon.
The 31-year-old right-back started the match and played for 57 minutes, as the Foxes lost 2-1.
As reported by The Shields Gazette, the former Manchester United right-back was booed by the Newcastle fans when he was taken off.
Simpson has stated that he understands why the travelling Magpies’ supporters booed him.
The right-back, though, has reminded the Newcastle fans that since he left St. James’ Park in 2013, he has won the Premier League title with Leicester.
Simpson told The Shields Gazette: “I left the club and went and won the league (with Leicester), so I understand.
“I left that club when I turned down a contract and left on a free. It turned out OK for me, but I understand it from their point of view.”
Good right-back
Simpson has improved well since his move from Queens Park Rangers to Leicester in 2014.
The right-back, who won the Premier League title with the Foxes in 2015-16, has also played in the Champions League.
According to CIES Football Observatory, the value of Simpson is now €6.2 million (£5.4m).
