JOE WORRALL has claimed that he still recieves abuse from Rangers fans following his stint at Ibrox.

The English defender spent the 2018/19 season on loan at Ibrox from Nottingham Forest and he is now a regular at The Reds.

Worrall insists he loved his stint in Glasgow, but he admits it was tough to take the pressure from a portion of the Gers support.

The Forest man told Robin Chipperfield: “I still get messages now on social media whenever I post anything from Rangers fans genuinely calling me every name under the sun.

“Genuinely, I loved my time there. Rangers fans are fantastic but they think they have a divine right to hammer and call blind any player that ever has a bad game for Rangers.

“It definitely took a toll, not on my mental health; I’m earning thousands of pounds a week to play football. It’s part and parcel, fans pay their money and if you underperform you get pelters for giving the ball away against Kilmarnock.

“Three years later, I’m still getting vile messages off Rangers fans. It’s unacceptable really. They won the league and they’re hammering a young lad who has done nothing but try his best.

“I loved my time at Rangers but it’s a lingering cloud, the abuse I get for no apparent reason. I know 100 per cent I came back to Forest a better player and a better leader.”
