QUOTE OFTHE DAY

If Morelos made that challenge then they would be preparing the electric chair for him. Clancy can’t referee any more Rangers games hammer Steven Gerrard for questioning Clancy’s integrity. He and their paranoid fans are screaming for red cards for any tackle when this referee is involved. The player clearly wins the ball in the Morelos tackle and the follow through is accidental.”

Over in Paisley and Collum’s performance left Rab Hunter, Dumfries, perplexed. He said: “If Willie Collum refuses to take his green-tinted glasses off then how can he be allowed to officiate any game? The latest debacle included a defender using both hands to pat the ball down and a goal given for a striker blatantly elbowing the ball into the net.”

Jim McLean, Rothesay, can’t believe the SPFL forced St Mirren to play the game despite their three first-team keepers all being ruled out by Covid-19 regulations. He said: “Another blunder by the SPFL asking, no telling, St Mirren to put an outfield player in goal against Hibs. If it was Rangers or Celtic they wouldn’t tell them to do it , they should be ashamed.”

On to other matters and Celtic fan John McCormack was happy with Shane Duffy’s Celtic debut at Ross County. He emailed: “He’s the type we’ve needed for years. Chris Jullien take note – the first-half sand dancing is not required. I predict a few rockets from Duffy if he keeps that up.”

But Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton, said: “With the first Old Firm match looming I was surprised David Turnbull wasn’t preferred to Olivier Ntcham yesterday. I’m convinced Turnbull can bring more energy to Celtic’s midfield than he can.”

Finally, at the other end of the table, Andrew Lamb, Fraserburgh, said: “Despite their league position, Ross County are only three points away from bottom club Motherwell. Stuart Kettlewell looks out of his depth and interference from the chairman appears to be the problem.”
