Rangers fans have hit back at comments from Umar Sadiq criticising the Glasgow club and manager Steven Gerrard.

Sadiq’s season long loan was cut short by Rangers at the end of 2018 after he failed to earn a regular spot in the first team.

The Nigerian’s last appearance for Rangers was an ill fated substitute showing in the Scottish League Cup semi final.

Sadiq told The Sunday Post: “All of a sudden, I was told that I could not use the first-team dressing-room any more. Instead I had to go change with the kids.

“Then, after a few days, I was also forbidden to park my car inside the training centre. I felt humiliated and kept asking what was the reason for the change of attitude. But I never received any answers.

“Gerrard wouldn’t give any explanation about it, neither to me nor my representatives. Gerrard proved to be very different from what I believed he would be.”

In the same interview he claims to still be owed money by Rangers.

He has since signed a loan deal with Perugia in Serie B.

He has scored two goals in eight games back in Italy.
