Surely he couldn't be that silly.

Jordan Rossiter has infuriated Rangers supporters after an image promoting a taunt from arch-rivals Celtic was seemingly retweeted by the injured Gers midfielder. Rossiter's followers were none too pleased when a photograph of Celtic fans holding up a banner which read "Don't forget to wish your sisters a Happy Mother's Day" appeared on the player's Twitter feed. The retweet was apparently undone very quickly but not before several fans took note and subjected the former Liverpool man to abuse via social media. https://twitter.com/allansnedden/status/975038520921415681 https://twitter.com/Sevcobar1/status/975036894772977664 https://twitter.com/strachs81/status/975032927552786433 https://twitter.com/wullieboy78/status/975036862850129925 The banner was reportedly unfurled during Celtic's 3-2 victory over their Glasgow rivals at Ibrox last Sunday, which coincided with Mother's Day, but the image did not appear on Rossiter's account until this week. While most fans criticised the 20-year-old for what would have been the height of disrespect from Rossiter, several claimed that he was actually sat in the director's box for his side's defeat to Kilmarnock at the time and suggested that he'd fallen victim to a hack. Either way, an explanation would go a long way from the youngster. https://twitter.com/UsainWatmore/status/975042698695643137 https://twitter.com/Gers89_/status/975036288670760960 https://twitter.com/Obanlad1970/status/975041569421168640 https://twitter.com/AllanBeattie88/status/975040437047189505
