The Celtic right-back is taking quite a bit of stick on Twitter.
Celtic right-back Mikael Lustig is coming in for criticism from neutral fans today.
The Hoops drew 0-0 away to Hibernian on Sunday in what was a frustrating afternoon for Celtic and interim manager Neil Lennon.
It was a clean and honest performance for the most part, but some supporters on Twitter have accused Lustig of play-acting in a bid to get Stevie Mallan sent off following a 50-50 challenge early in the second half.
The Hibs midfielder was booked on 56 minutes, but the Celtic star, who earns £24,000 per week [The Daily Star], hasn’t gotten away with anything on social media.
The challenge from Mallan did look like it could have injured someone but, considering Lustig was fine to continue, you do wonder how hurt he actually was.
Even a victory would not have seen Celtic win the Premiership title after Rangers beat Hearts on Saturday to keep the champagne on ice.
Lennon’s side are nine points clear of the Gers and it seems only a matter of time before an eighth successive league crown is confirmed.
