QUOTE OF THE DAY

-

‘What does Breen know about the Scottish game having played for Maidstone, Gillingham, Peterborou­gh and Barnet?’ saw referee Kevin Clancy come in for severe criticism and John Robertson emailed: “I can’t believe Rangers fans are shouting for Clancy to stop doing their games.

“They have short memories. Morelos made three red-card challenges on three separate Celtic players and nothing was done about it that day. Mind you, the referee that day was John Beaton.”

Liam Birney, Paisley, said: “Don’t you just love the overreacti­on of Rangers fans to the ‘career threatenin­g’ injury suffered by Morelos, biased pundits and the referee conspiracy nonsense?

“Is this the same Morelos that every Rangers fan wanted rid of as he’s a liability and scored only two league goals this year?”

Steve McSherry, Uddingston, said: “Is there a club that hasn’t been linked with Morelos? This transfer saga is becoming so boring. Let’s be honest, Rangers are trying to big up an average player who has found his level in a poor Rangers side.”

Gers gaffer Steven Gerrard questioned if Morelos would have been sent off if he’d committed the same challenge and Harry Fitzpatric­k, Canada, emailed: “When will Gerrard be charged with these statements on referees?

“This is not the first time and Neil Lennon would be charged for questionin­g the referee’s decision.”

On the park things are going well for Rangers who turn their attention to Europe and a qualifier against Lincoln Red Imps in Gibraltar.

Robert Livingston­e, Palm Beach, said: “Rangers are looking like serious title contenders. I know there will always be controvers­y with bad refs, bad tackles and bad luck but that’s part and parcel of football. Rangers fans need to stop focusing on that and be over the moon with the way the team is playing.”
