Celtic Santa booing trolled by Rangers in half-time League Cup party

Rangers have fired a cheeky dig at Celtic after Santa entered the pitch at half time during Rangers match with St Johnstone - to rapturous applause.

It's a direct reference to Father Christmas being greeted with boos from Celtic fans during the break in their 2-0 home defeat to Hearts on Saturday.

The Ibrox club had been implored by fans on social media to bring him out to a raucous reception.

They duly delivered, with Santa walking to the centre circle with the recently won Viaplay League Cup trophy.

The fans passionately serenaded the man in red and white to the tune of Ibrox favourite 'I'm Feeling It', as he furiously lofted the gleaming trophy, won against Aberdeen at the weekend, above his head.

The match remains poised at 1-0 to Philippe Clement's men with St Johnstone a man down after a red card for Dialling Jaiyesimi.
