RYAN KENT could have landed himself in hot water after appearing to point an imaginary gun at his head and Celtic fans when scoring in Sunday’s Old Firm.
During the lunchtime derby, winger Kent expertly finished off a quick move to give Rangers the lead at Celtic Park.
When wheeling away in celebration, Kent seemed to make gun gestures with his hands.
And he may now face an Scottish FA charge if found guilty of any misconduct.
The incident left some fans angered and others simply baffled at what the Gers ace was intending.
Twitter user Scott asked: “What the f*** was Kent’s goal celebration all about. Very strange aiming an imaginary gun to your own head as well as the crowd.”
Jo added: “Kent goal well taken, celebration was mind-boggling.”
One Celtic fan posted online: “Wit was Kent’s celebration about made a gesture to point a gun at his head while pointing at Celtic fans. Am confused man.”
Dee pondered: “I’d love to know how Ryan Kent does not get a yellow card for a gun to the head, gun to the away supporters goal celebration? When the most card happy referee in Scotland is in the middle!”
