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.

It was like Kris Boyd with his ‘fat boy’ celebratio­n last Sunday. It’s okay for fans to chuck pies at him and call him a fat b****** but he can’t give a bit back?

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.

And what is worse is that IBROX LEGEND WRITESEXCL­USIVELYFOR­YOU EVERY WEEK yellow cards can only be appealed for mistaken identity – which Gers tried and failed in a desperate bid – or an act of simulation. Where I do agree with the Rangers statement is in calling for a review of the rule preventing players from appealing a second yellow.

It’s causing a lot of controvers­y. If we take Darian MacKinnon who was booked for a tackle for Hamilton against Killie recently and then had it upgraded to a red – why can’t it work the other way?

On the park Rangers didn’t play well against St Mirren but I couldn’t care less because they won 2-0 and that is all that matters.

However, along with the 4-3 defeat to Spartak Moscow on Thursday night some people are now starting to hit the panic button with a run of one win in five ahead of tomorrow’s visit of Motherwell.

People need to take a step
