Sunderland fans are saying the same thing after Jon McLaughlin's departure to Rangers

The Scot left the Stadium of Light to sign a two-year deal with Rangers after rejecting Sunderland’s offer of a new contract, with his current deal set to expire next week.

McLaughlin will now join the Steven Gerrard’s squad and compete with Allan McGregor for the number one shirt.

Black Cats fans were quick to react on social media with many supporters upset by the news – here’s how YOU reacted…

@pol18988: “Remember when we wanted £5m for Jon McLaughlin and then let him leave on a free transfer? Good times eh?”

@shanehagan22: “#DonaldOut”

@JochenClaus1: “#DonaldOut you had 1 year to deal this contract situation. You wait till the last moment at the end of the season”

@JohnKaysCanoe: “He should have been tied down months ago to at least guarantee us a fee.”

@morgannfosterr1: “We are gunna be fighting relegation next season mark my words....”

@twangmackem: “Well done Sunderland, once again played a masterstroke. But fear not Alnwick will be here soon.”

@dave_mackem: “Good luck to him, rangers big club & in Europe. Should of offered him a new deal last year.”

@CraggsSpeaks: “Wondered what today’s joke was? Here it is! Good luck to him at Rangers. Joining a club with ambition obviously. Much better than playing for a mid-table mentality league one outfit. £5 million keeper hey?”

@summerside49: “Losing Jon Mclaughlin is yet another massive own goal from the powers that bad at SAFC. Mind you after letting Maja go and wasting 3 mil on Grigg is anyone surprised?”

@paulthomase: “@DavidJonesSky ha'way Dave what is going on? This is the worst ownership in my time supporting safc. Offer a contract when it's two weeks from expiring. Have a word with them.”

@Gerry_McGregor: “Not unexpected but was hoping not. It is totally the boards fault, this should of been sorted much earlier. We keep doing this. Wish @JonMcLaughlin well in his next club. No ill feelings at all.
