Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers got off to a winning start on Sunday.
Jordan Jones had a quiet and yet noisy Premiership debut for Rangers on Sunday.
The Gers winger only had 12 minutes in which to make an impact but, because of where the game was, his every touch was booed.
It was Jones’s first time facing Kilmarnock as an opposition player and the Rugby Park faithful let the Northern Ireland international know exactly what they thought of him.
The 24-year-old officially joined Rangers back in January and reacted to the move by using the ‘WATP’ acronym on Twitter. It was considered a disrespectful gesture toward Killie, given that he’d still be playing for them over the subsequent five months.
Steven Gerrard’s side won 2-1 yesterday thanks to Connor Goldson’s last-minute winner, and Jones’s post-match tweet was dripping with triumphalism after the hostility that he endured.
Because of it, the abuse will increase significantly on his next trip to Killie, but the Rangers star won’t care one bit. If he did, he might not have rubbed yesterday’s win in the fans’ faces to begin with.
