The BBC has proudly promoted tonight's Match Of The Day as Gary Lineker's 'last time' - after the former England captain resigned after sharing an anti-Semitic post.
Lineker was condemned after sharing a pro-Palestine Instagram video which featured an emoji of a rat, with critics accusing him of promoting a familiar anti-Semitic slur.
The Match Of The Day presenter and former England football captain posted a video in which Canadian-Palestinian lawyer Diana Buttu attacks Israel's war in Gaza that had a cartoon image of a rat on screen throughout.
Images of rats and other vermin were regularly used as tropes by Nazi Germany to depict Jewish people, as many of Lineker's critics pointed out.
The 64-year-old confirmed his departure from the corporation earlier this month after he caused an anti-Semitism row when shared a social media post about Zionism with a rat emoji - a derogatory term used by Nazi Germany about Jewish people.
