RANGERS hero Nacho Novo has revealed the abuse he receives from vile trolls on a daily basis.
The ex-footballer, 40, told his 87,000 followers on the social media website Instagram, "This is what I have to deal with every day," as he shared a screengrab of the shocking abuse.
The screengrab showed a message which had been sent privately to him on the site. It read: "How come you're not in the ground yet, ya chicken head. Wee rat b*****d, I f*****g hate you."
Fans of the Spanish star rallied with messages of support.
One said: "Unbelievable the abuse some people have to take. Report him to the police. It's shocking."
Another added: "I'm a Celtic fan but that is sick."
Nacho has built a life in Glasgow since retiring from football. He runs Rangers-themed NN10 Bar and Lounge in Kinning Park.
The popular sportsman has also battled health problems. Last year, he suffered a stroke after surviving a near-fatal heart attack.
We reported on Friday that Nacho unveiled a new tattoo in tribute to his former teammate Fernando Ricksen who is battling Motor Neurone Disease.
