Aberdeen Post-split disgrace

- Steve Wilson

Can anyone else see the irony of the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act being repealed amid claims it targeted and criminalis­ed football fans and the widespread agreement that an Old Firm title decider is to be avoided at all costs due to the anticipate­d violence and disorder?

This is not the only disgrace surroundin­g the split this year with Rangers to be given two extra home games against top-six opposition. This is providing a clear sporting advantage to them in the league competitio­n. They have had to play two away games against bottom-six sides and get in return two home games against tougher top-six sides. What is certain, however, is that the league will not be ordering Celtic to play a third game at Ibrox this season because the one thing they don’t worry about is fairness.
