Timothy Weah has since deleted this Instagram story

Before deleting the post, the 18-year-old said: “In regards to my yellow card I just want to say sorry to any Killie fans that were offended and who took it the wrong way.“But with all that being said, I was targeted by three players from the moment I stepped on the pitch.“Go back and look at all the cheap shots that were taken and the trash talking as well. “To be honest I understand it’s all part of the game. I took it and didn’t let it affect my match but at the end of the game I gave them a taste of their own medicine and took the consequences that came with it.“No problem, I love everybody and respect everybody that respects me.“I guess being kind all the time makes you look weak but I refuse to not stand up for myself and for my team-mates because at the end of the day that’s what family is for.Nearest challengersRangers goalless draw at home to St Johnstone on Saturday offered the Hoops the opportunity to extend their lead on an afternoon filled with controversy.Former Gers srtiker Kris Boyd was hit by acoin thrown from the away end and targeted with verbal abuseduring a tense first 45 minutes and he was critical of the actions afterwards.

Oh, and in case anyone didnt know, Im just a fat ORANGE (it must just be my favourite colour) b***tard. The shouts and abuse I can handle as a bit of bantereven tho if others it would be sectarianism Getting hit with a coin, though, is a step too far. Dont worry, I wasnt injured but if it doesnt stop someone will end up with a bad injury.
