Glasgow Rangers fans on Twitter have been responding to a recent post from Motherwell’s Twitter account.
Indeed, it was announced that the Scottish Premiership season had come to an end yesterday.
League rivals Motherwell shared a post on their official Twitter page confirming that they had finished in third place in the Scottish Premiership table after the current season was ended earlier this week.
The club thanked their fans for their “efforts and support in 2019/20” before claiming that the fans and the team “earned this together, no matter how it ended”.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Rangers fans, who were quick to share their reactions to this post from Motherwell.
Here’s a sample of Rangers fans responding to the post:
Third in the Premiership = confirmed ?
Thanks to all of you for your efforts and support in 2019/20. We earned this together, no matter how it ended.https://t.co/DZZAkn2jht pic.twitter.com/RKWGfkuV0E

Embarrassing….

Is this post embarrassing?
Yes
No
Motherwell end their season in third place on 46 points, 21 points behind Steven Gerrard’s team in second place and 34 behind Celtic (per BBC Sport). Now that the club have shared this post on their official Twitter page thanking the fans for their support this season, this gave lots of Rangers fans the opportunity to mock the club and the post.
diddy club

Submissives and happy to accept mediocrity to the very end. What a sham .

What do we think?
It seems a bit harsh that these Rangers fans are slating Motherwell for celebrating their third-place finish in the table this season when all they were trying to do was thank the fans for their support.
