The comment directed at the Gers ace came as he flicked a leg at Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer in the first half of the Old Firm match on Sunday.
The troll has since deleted the account.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “We are aware of the social media post and will be carrying out retrospective investigations to identify those responsible.

“Police Scotland is reminding users of social media that they should be responsible when posting their views.”
