Ex-Celtic star Kris Ajer trolls former Rangers kid Nathan Young-Coombes with debut message
FORMER CELTIC ace Kristoffer Ajer left a cheeky reminder for ex-Gers kid Nathan Young-Coombes of where his heart still lies.
The pair are team-mates now at Brentford after landing summer moves away from Parkhead and Ibrox.
And after spending most of the season in the Bees’ B team, Young-Coombes made his Premier League debut recently in the 3-0 win over Southampton – with Ajer on the scoresheet.
The teenage talent was presented with a shirt signed by all his team-mates as a memento of the occasion.
And Ajer couldn’t resist reminding Young-Coombes that they used to play on opposite sides of the Old Firm divide by writing ‘Hail Hail’ next to his name.
Some Rangers fans had been disappointed to see the forward move on after two years in the club’s academy.

And he is now making his mark at the Premier League club.
Speaking after his debut, he said: “The B Team has put me in good stride to play against men's first teams - I've done it all season.
“We've played against a variety of different teams, and this is the final hurdle and just trying to make it over.
"We're always slotting into the first team training, we're always being around the first team boys.

"It's just the way the B Team is set up, it allows us to slide into a Premier League game, and I can't give any more credit to the B Team staff.”
And he added on social media: "I can’t put into words how special this moment was for me and my family, achieving a @premierleague debut at such a special club @brentfordfc I couldn’t be more proud.
Starting this journey, from as young as I can remember, to finally stepping on that pitch, at home, in front of you special fans, made this experience easily one of the best days of my life.
"It just proves, always chase your dreams and no one can tell you, how far you can go! Thank you to everyone @brentfordfc for making this moment so special."
