A spokesman for Rangers told Britain's Press Association that the 23-year-old Colombia international was targeted by rival fans after he was sent off by referee Kevin Clancy in the closing stages of Sunday's 2-1 win over Celtic after picking up the second of two yellow cards.

Celtic responded with a statement saying they have "received no reports of any racial abuse but would fully investigate any should these be brought to our attention."
