The former Take That singer shocked the audience when he made the rude gesture during his routine.
He sang ‘Let Me Entertain You’ as hosts Russia prepared to play Saudi Arabia- but Bridges seemed far from entertained.
The Clydebank funnyman tweeted: "Reckon this could drive the Saudi Arabia fans to the beer tent”

In Saudi Arabia drinking alcohol is not permitted in the country.
The post has been retweeted more than 400 times and attracted more than 2,000 likes from social media users.
Robbie opened the set by strutting on to the football pitch to the sound of his 1998 single Let Me Entertain You, wearing a red leopard print suit and black shirt.

As he started singing, he was joined on the pitch by dancers clad in football-related costumes, including some with large football-shaped hats and others who were performing tricks with balls.

Russian operatic soprano Aida Garifullina then made her way on to the playing field, riding on what appeared to be a large phoenix.
Williams then sang his other single Feel while the word “Love” was spelled out by dancers on the pitch.
Williams and Garifullina then joined forces for a duet of his single Angels as the crowd at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium sang along.
However, fans watching in the UK were not able to watch his next performance of Rock DJ, as ITV cut back to their studio.
Videos and pictures started to circulate on social media of Williams with his middle finger up at the camera shortly afterwards.
