Rangers supporters are justified in expressing their disappointment with Fabio Silva after he shared an Instagram post celebrating his goal despite the team conceding a late equalizer against Hearts on Saturday (18 May).
The Gers concluded their Scottish Premiership season on a frustrating note, drawing 3-3 at Tynecastle Park. Despite seizing the lead in the 69th minute, Philippe Clement’s squad could only salvage a point as Kyosuke Tagawa netted in the 95th minute to even the score.
This outcome encapsulated the season for the Light Blues, leading fans to criticize Silva for his social media activity post-match. The Wolves loanee took to Instagram on May 18, stating, “It wasn’t enough for us to win the last Premiership game. All thoughts for Saturday’s match.”
The focus of his post was his fourth goal of the season, which extended Rangers’ lead to 3-1 before Hearts staged a late comeback. Fans have derided the Portuguese forward, interpreting his post as self-centered and suggesting he prioritizes personal achievements over team success.
Silva, set to return to the Premier League at the season’s end, appears motivated to advance his own career. However, amid Rangers falling short of clinching a third consecutive league title to Celtic, players should exhibit frustration and demonstrate their dedication to the supporters.
Silva has seemingly failed to endear himself to fans ahead of the Scottish Cup final with his recent actions.
