Rangers fans seize on Matt O'Riley own goal and they all say the same thing as Calvin Bassey…

Matt O'Riley has endured a rollercoaster start to life at Brighton as he made the headlines again - but for the wrong reason.

The former Celtic star had the worst possible start to life at the Seagulls after his debut following a mega money transfer from Parkhead was ended within minutes in a EFL Cup tie with Crawley Town. A horror tackle forced the midfielder off and left him sidelined for months before a sensational return against Man City that ticked off another first as his EPL bow ended with a winning goal in a comeback win over Pep Guardiola's side.

But in a run of firsts, it was a moment of misery this time around for the former Fulham man as he turned his back on a corner into the box with the ball striking his back and ending in his own net. It put the Cottagers 2-1 ahead with Alex Iwobi making sure of the points after earlier strikes from the former Arsenal and a leveller from Carlos Baleba.

And to make matters worse for the former Hoops fans' favourite - a big player under Brendan Rodgers and Ange Postecoglou before his move south of the border - ex-Rangers player Calvin Bassey was pictured loving life and lapping up the misery for O'Riley. His celebration and huge smile on his face as he wheeled away didn't go unnoticed.

The duo may have left the Glasgow fishbowl behind but it just goes to show it never truly leaves you as Light Blues fans lapped up Bassey's celebration - and revelled in O'Riley's dismay.
