James Tavernier has shared a disgusting racial abuse message he has been taunted with on social media
The Rangers captain posted a screenshot from an Instagram user which he shared with his followers.
Tavernier was contacted directly and the vile racial message was delivered to his inbox.
The private message read: ""Hello black. U r f***ing dog s*** and should be playing for black
"N***a n***a."
The 27-year-old posted the image with a shrug emoji as he shared the sickening message.
The Rangers star was targeted this season when a supporter ran onto the pitch to confront him against Hibs.
Tavernier was also the victim against Motherwell as supporters launched a lighter plus other objects in his direction.
Team-mate Wes Foderingham was also subject to racial slurs on social media last year.
Tavernier joined players from across Britain last week to condemn racial abuse in football with the 'Make A Stand Against Racism' campaign.
He posted: "We are making a stand against racist abuse.
"We recognise that our platforms come with responsibility, and so we are using our voice to stand against racist abuse.
"Together, we are calling on social media platforms and footballing bodies to do more!"
