Rangers captain James Tavernier was sought out by one irate Rangers supporter who launched an explosive X-rated rant against the defender.

The Ibrox skipper, 32, was branded a "loser" and repeatedly told the defeat to Celtic was "embarrassing" by one furious fan outside Ibrox on Sunday.

A clip on social media captured the moment Tavernier faced the barrage of abuse from one man outside the ground after the 3-0 loss to Celtic at Parkhead.

Players had returned to Ibrox after the defeat where angry supporters had gathered to vent their frustrations over the derby defeat in the first meeting between the clubs this season.

And tensions boiled over on numerous occasions with Leon Balogun, Philippe Clement and Tavernier facing up to the furious fan wrath.

Tavernier was singled out by one supporter who shouted: "Embarrassing, f****** embarrassing. Where the f**** the captain? Where are you, Tav?

"Absolutely embarrassing Tav. Tav, do us a favour and just f*** off, eh?

"Just f*** off, you're f****** embarrassing. You're nothing but a f****** loser, mate."

Tavernier was clearly angered by the criticism as he appeared to shout back at the supporter as he was led away flanked by security. 

Another supporter defended Tavernier from the criticism as she replied, "How about you f*** off?"

We previously told that Balogun and Clement fronted up to angry supporters in separate exchanges after the derby loss.

Centre-back Balogun had stopped to speak to supporters in the aftermath of the loss and ended up being applauded for being one of the only members of the squad not to walk straight past fans.

Clement faced up to supporters outside Ibrox too, but his defence over stats in the loss did not go down well with the closely packed group before he continued walking.
