Rob Kiernan was forced to call for security INSIDE Ibrox on Saturday as he was singled out by angry fans for abuse.
The defender, a former Ireland u-21 skipper, was left out of the match-day squad for the match against Ross County after having a nightmare in the 4-1 defeat from Hearts in midweek.
According to a report in The Sun ‘Sources revealed he was targeted as he made his way to the players lounge at half-time.
‘It’s believed several stewards had to intervene to prevent the flashpoint escalating.’
So called ‘fans’ giving Rob Kiernan abuse in the Hospitality at the game today, all he is trying to do is watch the game, call yerself fans????

Ross County were leading 1-0 at half time with the home fans booing their team off the park.
Kiernan, known affectionately as oil tanker, has been a regular in central defence all season alongside Clint Hill but was dropped for former Arsenal ace Philippe Senderos on Saturday.
The 26-year-old joined Sevco in the summer of 2015 in Mark Warburton’s first batch of signings and collected a Petrofac Cup winners medal from last season’s Hampden victory over Peterhead.
