Derry man Michael Duffy won’t be very popular with Rangers fans after the weekend

Ben Kiely

Michael Duffy tried his best to spoil the party for Rangers on Saturday.

The Derry native played against the newly-crowned Scottish Championship winners for Alloa on Saturday and very nearly dampened the Glasgow side’s celebrations in the match.

Even before kick-off it was clear that Duffy wasn’t interested in giving the champs an easy ride, as he refused to clap for the team’s guard of honour a they walked onto the pitch.

Then, Duffy actually sent his side into the lead just eight minutes in. The ex-Derry City player scored with a beautiful bottom corner finish from the edge of the box, which you can see from the video embedded below (apologies for the fact that it was clearly recorded using a potato).

However, Duffy’s strike wasn’t enough to win the game for his side, as James Tavernier spared Rangers’ blushes, who were awarded the trophy after full time.
