JOSH WINDASS has deleted a tweet in which he took a dig at a current Rangers player.
The Ibrox side moved to within three points of league leaders Celtic with an eventful 4-1 win over Kilmarnock yesterday.
Windass infamously made a ‘shushing’ gesture towards his own fans after scoring in a 2-0 victory over Partick Thistle in 2018, for which he apologised.
And something similar happened in Sunday’s game, with tensions high around Ibrox after Kilmarnock took a shock 1-0 lead into first-half added time.
Rangers forward Fabio Silva tucked in an equaliser, before running towards his own supporters, gesturing to the stands and then pointing at the name on his shirt.
The Portuguese then made a ‘yapping’ gesture with his hands, before again showing off the back of his jersey.
Philippe Clement‘s side went on to secure the 4-1 win and remain in the hunt for the Premiership title.
The Rangers crowd didn’t seem to mind the goalscorer’s antics, but fans took to social media to voice their displeasure, with fan account Ibrox Chat posting on X, formerly Twitter, about the similarities with the incident involving Windass.
They said: “Fabio Silva has just had his Josh Windass moment, to fully cement that we are back in the Graeme Murty era.”
However, the current Sheffield Wednesday ace hit back in a tweet which was later deleted.
He said: “I scored 18 though not 3.”
The Englishman was top scorer for Gers in the 17/18 season with 18 goals in all competitions, contrasting to Silva’s struggles since signing on loan from Wolves.
Fans were quick to reply to the post, with most seeming to back their former star over the loanee.
One supporter commented: “Silva wishes he was as half as good as Josh Windass.”
Another said: “Windass is clear of Silva.”
