Fraser Aird has apologised on Twitter for his actions during Rangers’ win at Celtic on Sunday.

The Gers beat Neil Lennon’s side 2-1 to move two points behind the Scottish Premiership leaders, who have played one game more.

It was a massive win for Rangers who won away at Celtic for the first time in nine years.

Understandably, fans of the light Blues were euphoric and the same applies to former Ibrox man Aird.

The Canada-born winger, who came through the club’s academy, was standing among the away fans at Parkhead and television cameras caught him aiming an offensive gesture toward the Hoops’ support.

The 24-year-old has since left his club Cove Rangers as a result of the gesture, and the man himself has apologised on Twitter.

Here’s how Gers supporters responded:

Aird, a lifelong Rangers fan, officially left the club in 2017 after originally joining as a teenager in 2011.
