On the park Rangers continue to earn praise for their title win which was clinched with a couple of months to spare and they have the advantage in their Europa League last-16 first leg tie thanks to Allan McGregor’s wonder, last-gasp save in the 1-1 draw against Slavia Prague.

Gerrard was furious with John Beaton earlier this month when he booked Alfredo Morelos for diving instead of awarding a penalty with the yellow card later overturned.
The same whistler was in charge for Hibs’ win at Ross County on Saturday and James Forsyth, Bellshill, said: “Beaton strikes again.
“He booked Morelos for diving a few weeks ago when TV showed it was a penalty and then let Martin Boyle off for a dive right in front of him after earlier giving a penalty when there was no contact.”
