The stunt comes amid reports that veteran striker Kenny Miller is on the verge of being sacked, and club captain Lee Wallace is facing suspension, for their part in the heated aftermath of Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi-final loss to Celtic.

The protest was carried out just 24 hours after the Gers were beaten 4-0 by their Old Firm rivals at Hampden.
