POLICE are working to track down a vile troll who hurled horrific racist abuse at Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard on Twitter.
The shocking rant came hours after Celtic won the Old Firm game at Parkhead on Sunday.
Another investigation is underway to find a troll who also targeted Rangers goalie Allan McGregor after the game.

The French striker, 20, took to the social media site after the Hoops’ win and told his 31,000 followers: “Glasgow stay Green.”
The troll hit back: “Nae wunner a hate n******.. Away back to the jungle ya black b******.”
The tweet was condemned online with one Celtic supporter labelling the troll “scum.”
The cowardly Twitter user later deleted the account.
