The supporter than pushed Tavernier and the two almost came to blows on the touchline before security staff intervened.

Hibs fan runs onto the pitch kicks the ball off Rangers defender James Tavernier and shoves him - what an absolute moron. The exact same area a glass bottle was thrown at Scott Sinclair last week. This needs to stop.

Many on social media were unimpressed with the fan’s behaviour …

The sad part about that little upstart who kicked the ball away from tavernier is Hibs as a club will probably receive a punishment for one dafty’s actions. 😥

Hibs supporters have attacked the Hearts goalkeeper, threw a bottle at Sinclair and assaulted Tavernier this season alone. The dregs of society

Tavernier should have banjoed that wee knob. Must have had 3 blue wkd’s before he went to the game. Arse.

Hibs fan currently being huckled by police after jumping from the stands to kick the ball from Tavernier's feet and then push the defender. Good on the Rangers man for taking no nonsense there. Ridiculous from the fan.
