Wes Foderingham teases Rangers star on Twitter over SpongeBob likeness

The Rangers squad were pictured alongside the popular cartoon character as they lined up for their Florida Cup match with Atletico Mineiro.

This led to the club tweeting out a close-up with SpongeBob next to Tavernier in the line-up. It read: “Gers defender @James_Tavernier making friends with @SpongeBob before tonight’s friendly against @atletico”

Foderingham responded by quote-tweeting: “Same haircut.”

Fans also poked fun at the goalkeeper after he was mistaken for youth goalkeeper Liam Kelly.

The youngster replaced Jak Alnwick on the 60-minute mark of Rangers’ 1-0 victory, though the American commentators erroneously called him “Foderingham” for the remainder of the game.
