BARRY FERGUSON
And as for his celebrations – it’s banter with the opposition players and fans where you shout ‘Yessssss!’.
Your opponent then has a go back at you – that’s football! Yes, celebrate with your team-mates and fans but if you’re running past, you have a wee dig at your opponent. What’s the problem with that?
I read some comments saying Alfredo Morelos shouldn’t have gone to the St Mirren fans and stuck his tongue out before he got hit by the coin but it’s an entertainment business.
Saints fans were probably having a go at him.

We can’t take the banter away from football. You need it between players and fans providing it doesn’t go over the line with objects thrown.
I was shocked when I watched the Candeias booking from last weekend.
Collum shouldn’t have made a rash decision in an incident like that.

People need to take a step
