BARRY FERGUSON was yesterday involved in a heated shouting match with an Alloa fan after a score draw in Dumbarton.
The Rangers hero, who took over the Wasps in the summer, was filmed confronting a fan after a negative reaction at full-time.
The video, shared by @Craigieh23 on Twitter, showed Ferguson and a fan shouting across the barrier as a cluster on supporters watched on.
Ferguson provided an explanation for the confrontation after the match as he revealed he was "sick of negative comments" coming from the supporters.
Ferguson, as reported by the Daily Record, said: “I’m just sick of negative comments.
“I’ll always stick up for my boys, but when it becomes personal, I don’t like it. I’ve had enough.
"We did well in the first-half, but not so good in the second. I’ll always accept constructive criticism, but I won’t accept negative stuff.”
Steven Boyd had put Ferguson's side ahead in Dumbarton before a late leveller from Paddy Boyle ensured a share of the spoils for the hosts.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
