Kilmarnock fans have praised Celtic-owned midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu on Twitter for his performance against Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers.

Mulumbu, who joined Kilmarnock on loan from Celtic in the January transfer window, was in action against Rangers at Rugby Park in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup on Saturday afternoon.

The 32-year-old former West Bromwich Albion midfielder started the tie and played for the entire 90 minutes, as it finished in a goalless draw.

Mulumbu played well for Kilmarnock and was a force to be reckoned with in the middle of the park, and Killie fans were impressed with his performance against Rangers and have praised him on Twitter.

Below are some of the best comments:

Celtic struggles

Mulumbu struggled to make an impact at Celtic following his move to Brendan Rodgers’s team in the summer of 2018 on a free transfer after leaving Kilmarnock at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

According to WhoScored, the DR Congo international midfielder was able to play just 85 minutes in the Europa League and made just one appearance in the Scottish Premiership for Celtic this season before his move to Kilmarnock on loan last month.
