Umar Sadiq has launched an astonishing rant at Steven Gerrard.
The Nigerian striker arrived at Rangers on a season-long loan from AS Roma in the summer. Though his spell in Scotland only lasted a few months.

His stint was cut short after just four first-team appearances for Rangers.
Sadiq now plies his trade for Serie B side Perugia after striking a loan deal in January.

The 22-year-old has since spoke about his time in Glasgow, and he's not held back on Gerrard.
"When I arrived, I didn't even have any time to settle down before they brought in another striker, Kyle Lafferty," he said.
"That was when the problems started, and my situation soon degenerated into a real nightmare."
Sadiq then explains how he had to change with Rangers' youth team.

"All of a sudden, I was told that I could not use the first-team dressing room any more. Instead I had to go change with the kids.
"Then, after a few days, I was also forbidden to park my car inside the training centre.
"I felt humiliated and kept asking what was the reason for the change of attitude. But I never received any answers. Gerrard wouldn't give any explanation about it, neither to me nor my representatives.
"I believe absolutely that I was not given a fair chance to show what I can do. They made me feel like a stranger."
During his time at Rangers, Sadiq was fined £20,000 for liking an Instagram post. He also claims the club owe him his December wages.

"Once I put a 'like' on Instagram to a post from a fan - and I was fined £20,000, which was absurd," he added. "And Rangers didn't even pay me up everything I was due. They still have to give me my salary for December."
A damning assessment of Gerrard's managerial method.
