Rangers striker Fabio Silva has been mocked by a Celtic-daft footballer.

James McClean took to social media yesterday to aim a dig at the 21-year-old for his antics during yesterday's derby encounter at Ibrox.

The on-loan Wolves player was seen to be going down easily on a few occasions, with one block by Alistair Johnston in the first half highlighting some rather dramatic play-acting.

It was at this instance that Republic of Ireland international McClean, who now plies his trade for Wrexham in League Two, let rip at the Rangers forward.

Posting a series of laughing emojis on his Instagram story, he shared a photo of Silva on the ground, as he watched from home. 

He captioned his post: State of that."

Silva was later involved in further controversy as he went down inside the area after the break. 

Initially, referee John Beaton took the decision to book him for diving for trying to con a penalty. 

However, after a VAR check, an on-field review was conducted by Beaton, who then performed a U-turn on his decision, instead pointing to the spot, as James Tavernier stepped up to score.

Brendan Rodgers accused Silva of 'simulation' over the incident as he spoke to the media post-match.

“The first half was absolutely brilliant," the 51-year-old said. "Couldn’t have been more comfortable in the game. Some of the level of our football – we attacked with the ball, attacked without it – and could’ve been more comfortable by half time.

“Disappointed with the penalty, that gives them a little up in the game whenever we were clearly the much better team. Ali, who is on a booking, has to be really careful in the second half with the timing of his tackles and I thought he was perfect with it.

“I thought the referee got it absolutely right on the field. He connected with the ball, the player simulates, and it was right. So clearly then they score the penalty. It gets to 2-1 and then you expect something from Rangers."
