RANGERS star Alfredo Morelos was subjected to racist abuse while filming a live video.
The Ibrox ace was streaming the clip to his followers on Instagram around 6pm last night while wearing his Gers training kit.
During the video, social media users are able to comment and react.
And one vile troll posted a racial slur during the stream, branding the Colombian striker a “black b*****d”.
The user, which appears to be a gaming account, wrote: “Ya black b*****d mon the Ira” before adding a string of Ivory Coast flags, presumably .
One source told the Scottish Sun he found the comment “disgusting”, adding: “I would dread to think what people have sent him privately.”
The abuse, which has been reported to cops, came less than 24 hours after Morelos and his teammates took the knee ahead of their match against Lyon to support the Black Lives Matter movement.
The Scottish Sun has approached Rangers and Police Scotland for comment.
Morelos has previously been the subject of alleged racist abuse.
In February, cops launched a probe after an alleged incident during a match against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
One Kilmarnock supporter who was at the game claimed they heard someone shout ‘black b******’ at the Colombian international.
A video later emerged on social media appearing to highlight the abuse – and we cleaned up the audio for you to hear.
Kilmarnock have since vowed to investigate the alleged abuse and promised to ban any supporter found guilty.
