RYAN McGOWAN has taken a cheeky dig at Rangers fans on Twitter – trolling them over the club’s history.
The 28-year-old had the chance to join
Gers in 2012 after the club was put into the bottom tier of Scottish football.

But the then
Hearts ace chose to remain at Tynecastle over fears it would ruin his international career.
McGowan remains a close follower of the Jambos and responded to our tweet from yesterday suggesting John Souttar as a possible Ibrox target.
A SunSport Online feature looked at nine Scottish Premiership stars who could improve Graeme Murty’s side.
And the Australian international questioned whether Scotland Under-21 star Souttar would be interested in an Ibrox switch, saying: “Why would Souttar want to go to Rangers?”
The former Dundee United defender was then barraged with messages from frustrated Gers supporters who took aim at his playing career in the Middle East.
Twitter user Chris McLaughlin said: “If that’s the case then why you playing in UAE?”
McGowan replied: “Talking about Souttar not my situation mate….thanks for taking an interest in my career though.”
McLaughlin said: “Not really. I hadn’t a clue who the club was on your bio and had to google it but you’re absolutely right.
