Benito Mussolini's granddaughter Alessandra has reignited her feud with Celtic fans by threatening a Hoops fan with a noose.

Rangers beat Old Firm rivals Celtic at Celtic Park for the first time in nine years on Sunday - with Ryan Kent and Nikola Katic both netting in a 2-1 victory.

After the result, Mussolini tweeted: "But then who won? #OldFirmDerby". Before later deleting it.

In reply, a supporter tweeted her a gif of a noose before Alessandra hit back with the sick taunt: “For your family, next year”.

The noose refers to Italian dictator Mussalini's death in the finals days of World War II in 1945 - when the fascist was killed and hung outside down from a petrol station outside Milan.

Former MEP Alessandra previously clashed with Hoops fans in October after Celtic hosted Lazio in the Europa League.

The home fans displayed a banner which showed Mussolini's dead body hanging along with the message: "Follow your leader"

Alessandra was furious at the depiction and called on the fans responsible to be prosecuted.

She said: “Whoever exposes a photo or drawing of my grandfather hanging upside down commits an act of violence, which should be pursued.

“I want to propose a new law of the crime of Ducephobia which does not yet exist but which I want to include in our judiciary."

Meanwhile, Former Celtic striker John Hartson has questioned Steven Gerrard following his full-time reaction.

The Liverpool legend led Rangers to victory on their rivals' turf for the first time since 2010 and celebrated joyously.

But Hartson wasn't happy with Gerrard's initial actions after the full-time whistle - and how he "slapped" the hand of Celtic boss Neil Lennon, rather than a more traditional handshake.

"I thought the handshake was slightly wrong," said Hartson on talkSPORT. "I thought he slapped Neil's hand and he slapped John Kennedy's hand.

"I thought Stevie would have shook hands, man to man, looked them in the eye.

"But it was almost like a high-five, a slap and he walked away. It's not a criticism, he was obviously delighted to get the three points and his team played very well.

"That was the only thing that I was a little surprised about that he didn't shake the guys' hands."
