Madeleine McCann troll slammed after comparing £11.75m search fund to Rangers footballer’s price tag
A SICK Twitter troll has been blasted online after comparing a footballer's price tag with Madeleine McCann's search fund.
The keyboard warrior made the "disgusting" comparison between Madeleine's £11.75million search cash and Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos on social media.
He captioned it: "Cost Of Madeline McCann Search: £12,000,000
"Cost Of Alfredo Morelos: £1,000,000
"Goals For Rangers: Madeline: 0 Morelos: 21".
The tweet has racked up more than 1,000 shares and almost 5,000 likes since it was posted.
But a number of people were furious at the comparisons, replying to the post with fury.
One person wrote: "What a disgusting tweet.
"What goes through someone’s mind to think that comparing the cost of searching for a missing child and the price of a football player are somehow comparable."
One person commented: "Not a good tweet!!!"
Another replied to the post: "How disgusting! Here’s hoping that, if you have kids, nothing ever happens to any of them!"
Three-year-old Madeleine disappeared from an apartment during a family holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal in May 2007.
More than £11.75million has so far been spent on the search to find her - with the McCann's given a further £150,000 cash boost just last week.
It's not the first time in recent months Madeleine has been at the centre of a cruel joke.
We told last month how a busker was filmed singing about finding her in his "freezer" in "pieces".
A sick Facebook account was also set up pretending to be the missing girl.
