Rangers manager Mark Warburton falls foul of Celtic prankster.

Celtic’s 5-1 win over Rangers is a scoreline which supporters will likely taunt their rivals about for years to come.

Even Rangers boss Mark Warburton cannot escape it, as you might expect.

He recently fell foul to a Celtic supporting prankster who stopped him for a chat and asked him to pose for a photo, pointing at his new pal.

Innocent enough, until the fan raised five fingers himself, setting up a not so subtle ‘5-1’ dig…

Poor Warburton likely walked away from the encounter none the wiser, while the image is now going viral online.

The one saving grace for the Rangers boss is that at least, just like at Parkhead in September, Joey Barton was nowhere to be seen…

Celtic followed up their 5-1 win over Rangers by beating them in the BetFred Cup semi-final last month too, although by a narrower 1-0 scoreline.

The two teams face off again on New Year’s Eve at Ibrox, a match which gives the Light Blues another chance at revenge… just don’t expect a 5-1 win for Warburton’s team.
