CELTIC star Ryan Christie deleted his Twitter account in the wake of his side’s defeat to Livingston.
The Hoops lost 2-0 at the Tony Macaroni Arena yesterday, with the Scotland midfielder given a straight red card for an X-rated tackle on Scott Robinson.
His wild challenge was slammed by Sky Sports pundits Kris Boyd and Andy Walker while Celts gaffer Neil Lennon had no complaints about ref Willie Collum’s decision.
And it appears Christie, 24, has decided to take a break from Twitter.
His decision led to several Bhoys fans slamming their own supporters’ reaction to the former Inverness and Aberdeen man’s red card.
