The midfielder says he is tired of being sent insults about his country of birth on social media.

CELTIC star Nir Bitton has blasted trolls who bombard him with abuse on social media because he is Israeli.

The Parkhead ace said he is tired of “idiot” trolls abusing him online and criticised people for messaging him to say he supports the death of children.

He wrote on Instagram: “I’m just tired of replying to idiots who insult me because I’m Israeli so I’m not gonna reply anymore.

“Just a shame for the people who insult me for such a thing like that.

“As a father if you guys think I support the death of children or any human being then you are nothing but idiots.

“I’m all up for the banter but not when you guys texting my wife’s Instagram.

“I’m getting abuse for a while so I just felt that I had to say that. Don’t mix football and politics, you are better than that. Love you all.”

Earlier this month, he was told by one irate supporter to leave the Glasgow club after he had congratulated Israel’s successful Eurovision entry Netta Barzilai.

Bitton, 26, shared a photo of the singer on his Instagram story as he celebrated her taking top spot in the contest with her song TOY which featured an unusual chicken dance.

A follower replied back to Bitton, “F*** you,” followed by, “Out our club!”

Bitton, 26, shared the exchange, mockingly telling his 73,000 followers, “This boy need some love.”

He also replied back to the troll, “Haha shut the f*** up…I’ll be here till my last second of my contract.”
