James McClean’s cheeky FIFA 16 tweet will upset Rangers fans

James McClean doesn’t make life easy for himself.

The West Brom man loves a good troll and he’sĀ been up to his old tricks again.

The Ireland midfielder has got his hands on a copy of FIFA 16Ā but he’s noticed something is missing.

Scottish side Rangers were usually included in earlier editions of the world famous game in the ‘Rest of the World ‘ section, but are absent from this year’s edition due to a row with game-makers EA.

It’s understood that the club failed to hand over the licence for crests, kits and player likenesses.

And McClean thinks the fact that he now won’t be able to play an Old Firm derby on the new game is hilarious.

Rangers fans had hoped the club would be included after getting 1100 signatures on an online petition to try and make the game-makers change their mind.

Alas, it was not to be, and McClean’s tweet has drawn plenty of responses…
