Celtic youngster Liam Burt has slapped down a Rangers troll who branded him a "dirty fenian b******" in the wake of his side's Betfred Cup final win.
Burt watched the Hoops first-team nick a 1-0 win over their rivals at Hampden Park yesterday afternoon.
The 20-year-old couldn't hide his delight at the victory and shared a photo from the game with the caption "Beautiful Sunday".
One Gers fan, still reeling from the defeat, didn't mince words and lashed out with the sectarian abuse in reply, calling Burt - who previously played for the Light Blues - a "dirty fenian b******".
But the player refused to allow it to get to him, simply replying: "And I love it", with smiley emojis and a green love heart.
The vile insult has been deleted from social media and the fan in question has since deactivated his Twitter account.
