Shane Duffy silenced a Brighton supporter who criticised the club for paying his wages to ship him out on loan - while charging fans £15 per game to watch on TV.
The Celtic defender addressed the speculation after being challenged on social media about his pay packet.
Sharing a photo of Seagulls chief executive Paul Barber looking disgruntled, the fan compared the reaction to charging fans on a pay-per-view basis. The supporter then followed it up with a smiley photo of Barber, comparing the reaction to 'Paying Shane Duffy 25k a week to play for another club'.
Someone sent me this feel like have to respond . Celtic pay my full wages sorry . Still don’t think it’s right to charge 15 quid for a match tho 👍🏻
