Alan Judge landed himself in hot water with some Rangers supporters for a throw-away comment he made about the club.
The Irish midfielder told the Scottish Sun that he would love to play for his former Brentford boss Mark Warburton again, but he would not be interested in a move to his current club, Rangers.
“I wouldn’t be going to Rangers, not a chance. I had that call in the summer and I went ‘Are you kidding me? I’d get killed if I went up there!'”
Judge’s little joke rubbed some Rangers supporters the wrong way, who felt he was being disrespectful about the club. He has since explained that he didn’t intend to cause any offence and that he his comment was not to be taken literally.

Enter his international teammate James McClean. The Derry native saw Judge’s explanation on Twitter and decided to get in on the action and completely undermine the explanation behind his joke.
