Fraser Forster was booed after he came on for his Tottenham debut as hostile Rangers fans held a grudge over the five years he spent at rivals Celtic.
The goalkeeper’s special day was marred as Rangers fans jeered his every involvement after he came off the bench.
Forster spent two years at Celtic permanently between 2012 and 2014, having previously spent another two years before that on loan at Celtic Park between 2010 and 2012.
His period at the club coincided with three Scottish Premier League victories for the Bhoys.
Even though it was only a friendly, Rangers fans would not let the keeper forget the rivalry and booed him every chance they got.
Forster came off the bench in a 2-1 win for Spurs.
