Scott Brown has once again upset Rangers fans.
Celtic’s captain had a small part in the sending off of the fiery Alfredo Morelos during the Old Firm derby, which was the striker’s fifth red card of the season.
Brown, like some others, appear to get a real kick out of being hated by the opposition.
Here, talkSPORT.com looks at other examples of players who simply love winding rivals up or just reserve special hatred for them.

Dele Alli is one of the best wind-up merchants playing at the moment and this was in full flow during Tottenham’s Carabao Cup victory over north London neighbours Arsenal in December. Spurs were 2-0 up and cruising at the Emirates Stadium when an Arsenal fan threw a plastic bottle at Alli’s head. The England international turned round and reminded the home fans of the scoreline with his fingers and given Spurs went on to win the game, Alli had the last laugh. He could miss the derby this weekend as he’s still recovering from a hamstring injury

But perhaps Alli took inspiration from former Gunner Theo Walcott, who reminded the travelling Spurs fans that Arsenal were beating them 2-0 in an FA Cup tie at the Emirates in January 2014. Walcott was being taunted as he was forced off with an injury late in the game but it’s fair to say he and Arsenal had the last laugh as they went onto win the whole competition

Leigh Griffiths and Scott Brown and Rangers – When Celtic thumped Rangers 5-1 in September 2016, Brown described it as 'men against boys', while team-mate Leigh Griffiths is often the subject of abuse from the home end at Ibrox. When he scored against Rangers in a 2-0 win in September 2017, he swung a Celtic scarf around his head and celebrated with Brown in front of angry supporters. He also cleaned his hand on a Rangers corner flag after wiping his nose.

Jack Wilshere and Tottenham – Wilshere doesn’t like Tottenham very much and in 2015, when he and his Arsenal team-mates were celebrating retaining the FA Cup in front of fans, he picked up a microphone and started a chant mocking local rivals Tottenham. Asking the crowd to join, he said: “I have one question, and one question only: what do we think of Tottenham?â€, before adding: “And what do we think of s***?â€, then joining in as the crowd sang back: “We hate Tottenham and we hate Tottenham… we are the Tottenham haters.†He was fined £40,000 for his actions, while his move to West Ham – another Spurs rival – could be interpreted as a way to annoy their fans even more.

Gary Neville and Liverpool – Neville emphasised his dislike of Liverpool football club in a Man United fanzine in 2006. "I can't stand Liverpool, I can't stand the people, I can't stand anything to do with them," he said. In January 2006 Neville was also fined £10,000 for maniacally celebrating Rio Ferdinand's late winner in front of the travelling Liverpool fans at Old Trafford. The defender said it was worth it, as he explained to Jamie Carragher last year. “To be fair, Liverpool had been singing songs about me all game so I thought 'they need to have a bit back don't they?'”

Jamie Carragher and Everton – Where Neville doesn't like Liverpool, former Reds defender Carragher doesn't like United. However, he once revealed he gets more pleasure from beating Everton, the team he was fanatical about as a boy. “As an Evertonian, I was thrilled whenever Liverpool lost, mainly because it improved our chances of winning the title,” he wrote in his autobiography. “I used to love [Everton], but there are things about the club I canÂ’t stand now. There are two Evertons in my life: the Everton before Liverpool, and the Everton after. The club I loved in the 1980s and the team I see now are poles apart in my mind. I refer to the Everton of the ‘80s as ‘usÂ’ and the modern Everton as ‘themÂ’.”

Gerard Pique and Real Madrid – Pique has previously admitted he "always wants things to go badly" for Real. He revealed he wore a Gianluigi Buffon shirt during the 2015 Champions League semi-final, where Juventus beat Real, while he once claimed being whistled at by fans at the Bernabeu was “like listening to a symphony.”

Wayne Rooney and Liverpool – Rooney and his family are all Everton fans, which explains why he doesn't like Liverpool that much. Playing for Man United in 2009, he said his dislike hadn’t changed over the years. "I grew up an Everton fan, my whole family are Everton fans and I grew up hating Liverpool – and that hasn't changed.”

Teddy Sheringham and Arsenal – In 2002 Sheringham, who played for Tottenham in two spells, was quoted saying he "hated" Arsenal and was desperate for the GunnersÂ’ title rivals Man United to beat them. He later denied using such a strong word, but reiterated his desire for them to lose.

Steven Taylor and Sunderland – In 2012, Taylor revealed he would "rather go and collect stamps" than play for Sunderland. He even tried to wear football boots with the words 'stamp collector' embroidered on his boots during a 2013 Tyne-Wear derby, but was reportedly prevented from doing so. Speaking about the hatred Sunderland fans have for him he said: “ItÂ’s great. I thrive on it. The hatred is what I love about playing against them, especially having 46,000 Mackems hate you as much as they do. ItÂ’s great, and I hate them.”

Carlos Tevez and River Plate – Tevez began his career at his beloved Boca and was quick to show his contempt for Buenos Aires rivals River Plate. In 2004 he celebrated a goal against them by imitating a chicken, in reference to Boca fans’ nickname – ‘gallinas’ – for them. Tevez was sent off for his actions.

Ian Wright and Tottenham – Wright always seemed to have a good game against Tottenham. He even revealed he used to teach new foreign signings to say "Spurs are s***" as a starter sentence in English.
