Ashen-faced Todd Cantwell was left mortified after he was hooked by hardline Philippe Clement following 35 ill-fated minutes against Aris Limassol.
The playmaker could barely believe it after Ross McCausland replaced him amid a error-ridden display by the Englishman and his team-mates at Ibrox in the first half.
The call to sub off Cantwell led to a mixture of shock and anger among 50,000 supporters as Clement took the executive call that the attacker's night was over and the player was left open-mouthed.
Cantwell was subbed off at half-time against Hearts in the Viaplay Cup semi final but that was put down to a tactical call over fears Jambos players would wind him up as he already was on a caution during the Hampden showpiece.
