Northern Irish football fans have slated Rangers defender Lee Hodson on Twitter.

The Rangers right-back started Sunday’s 3-0 defeat by Costa Rica and was partially responsible for one of the goals conceded.

It was only a friendly encounter, but supporters of Northern Ireland have criticised the 26-year-old nonetheless.

Here is how they reacted to the Gers man’s performance:

It does perhaps paint a picture of how poor Northern Ireland’s full-back options must be if Hodson still gets his game.

That’s not strictly because the former Watford man is an awful player, but Hodson, signed by Mark Warburton almost two years ago, only started seven games for Rangers last season.

It should be noted that he is stuck behind James Tavernier, one of the Scottish Premiership’s finest right-backs, but surely it’s not enough game time to warrant automatic selection at international level.

He was replaced by Conor McLaughlin on the 60-minute mark, and maybe the Millwall man will get the nod over Hodson in future.
