Former Rangers star John Lundstram has been savaged by Turkish legend and former international midfielder Sergen Yalcın for his displays for Trabzonspor.
Lundstram quit Ibrox on a free in the summer after three years at Rangers and moved to Turkey, where he's played ten league games for his new club - starting five of them.
But Trabzonspor are struggling in 11th place in the Turkish League and have been heavily criticised.
And TV pundit Yalcın - who played for Istanbul's three main clubs of Galatasaray, Besiktas and Fenerbahce and played in five major tournaments for Turkey before later going on to manage Besiktas - singled out 30-year-old Lundstram for criticism.

He said: "Trabzonspor has a player John Lundstram. He is a flat midfielder who offers absolutely nothing.
"He's not alone because they have many players like that.
"He does not provide any contribution to the team, he does not make any difference to the team at all.
"He is not good enough for Trabzonspor.
"This is a team who were supposed to be going for the title. They are full of players who are not good enough to do that."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
