Former Celtic player claims he is now a Rangers fan

Celtic have been dominant in the Glasgow Derby during the time of Ange Postecoglou as the manager of the club. They got the better of their Ibrox rivals once again this weekend, with a 1-0 win over them in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park, thanks to a first-half header from Jota.

The result means that Celtic are in the final of the Scottish Cup and their treble hopes are very much alive. On the other hand, the Rangers look set to finish this campaign trophyless.

The Ibrox side have not won a single Glasgow Derby this season. They have lost four of them while managing to draw one. Michael Beale has lost three of his four since arriving last year. Thus, it is safe to say that the Rangers fans have had very little to be happy about this season.

Former Celtic player, Lewis Morgan, recently admitted though that he is back to supporting the Rangers now, having departed Parkhead a few years back. As reported by The Scottish Sun, he said in an interview with GOAL:

"“Rangers. I grew up a Rangers fan. I got the chance to play for Celtic, from a footballing perspective that was a big deal.“Now that I’m not there anymore and playing over here I’m back to being a Rangers fan.”"

It is not often that a former Celtic player admits that he supports the Rangers and vice versa. And it is safe to say that the admission will not make Morgan a popular figure amongst the Hoops fans.

Morgan spent a few years at Celtic but was never able to establish himself as a starter at the club. He would ultimately end up leaving for the MLS where he has found success.

Morgan had joined Inter Miami, having left Celtic in January of 2020. Since then, he has moved to the New York Red Bulls and is having a great time with the club. He was even named the Team MVP for the 2022 season.
