Healy pretended to play a flute after coming on in the second half of the 3-1 win over the Scottish champions at Craven Cottage.

Healy's agent, Stephen Hughes, told the Daily Mail: "They (The Celtic fans) were chanting, 'Where were you on the 12th', which is the day of the Orange marching bands in Belfast. So he simply pretended to play the flute - there was no attempt to inflame the fans."

He added: "David has told me he was wearing boots with a Northern Ireland flag on the back.

"They had been made for him to celebrate being the leading scorer in the Euro 2008 qualification matches.

"The Celtic fans saw that and know he's a Rangers fan.

"Afterwards, some of the fans who had been giving him stick sent over programmes for him to sign which he did quite willingly."
