Ryan Christie isn't the first footballer left red-faced by an old tweet, but he might be the most embarrassed.
The Aberdeen new-boy followed the example of
Arsenal's Cohen Bramall by deactivating his Twitter account when old comments that don't paint him in the best light resurfaced.
But the internet remembers all, and we don't doubt Christie will get a ribbing from his new teammates for this.
The 21-year-old, on loan at Pittodrie from Celtic, came through the ranks at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
And it was during that spell, back in 2012, that he made some less-than-complimentary comments about the Scottish side.

So, you know how we said the internet doesn't forget...the internet *really* doesn't forget.

Not all of the comments about his unfortunate incident went down the same route, however.
There was one comment that likened Christie's mishap to one of the bigger narratives in Scottish football, but it was so subtle that you might not have noticed.

We're starting to think this might just be a Scottish football thing. We haven't forgotten the furore around one of
Josh Windass' old tweets when he joined Rangers.
And then, of course, there's the small issue of
Joey Barton's fandom.
