Rangers winger Ryan Kent was trolled by some Celtic fans as he left Parkhead after Saturday's 3-2 derby defeat.
Kent endured a subdued afternoon during a fierce contest in Glasgow with Kyogo Furuhashi grabbing a double and Jota also getting his name on the scoresheet for the champions.
Rangers captain James Tavernier scored twice but his goals ultimately did not prove enough to take anything from the game.
As Rangers players headed to the team bus post-game, Celtic fans took aim at the squad and Kent was on the end of a sly dig over his contract situation.
The Englishman is out of contract in the summer and one fan sarcastically asked him to sign on the dotted line again at Ibrox, following his poor display. You can watch it in the clip below:
Ryan sign a new deal please! Ryan sign a new deal.

Kent did not react as he made his way onto the team bus alongside his team-mates.
Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou hailed Furuhashi after the striker’s double – and then joked he should play down the importance of the Japan international to his side to put off any clubs who might want to sign him.
Furuhashi took his tally for the 2022-23 season to 28 with two goals in a thrilling triumph that sent the defending champions 12 points clear of their nearest challengers in the cinch Premiership table with seven games remaining.
“I’ve said it a few times,” he said. “From the moment this guy arrived he’s been outstanding. I don’t remember him not giving everything. In every game he plays, he’s a threat. If he doesn’t score a goal, he works so hard for the team. He delivers in the big games.
“There’s not much of him out there and he’s up against big strong defenders who get very physical with him at times because of his nature and the way he is. But make no mistake, he’s a winner. I’ve seen it first hand.
“He wants that responsibility to rise to the occasion. He wants to be the person who delivers and he did it again today.”
Postecoglou added: “He was the first one I wanted here. He didn’t arrive first, but he was the first I wanted to make sure we brought. Because I’d experienced him first hand in Japan as an opponent, which I didn’t enjoy.
“But I knew what he had to bring, not just as a player but as a person. He’s outstanding. The positive thing is that people don’t pump him up too much. If they do, other people might notice. So he’s struggling at times! Seriously, though, he’s alright.”
