QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘I bet Bolingoli is upset to be loaned out. Never mind, he’ll be doing something Celtic won’t – playing in Champions League’ close season from the same old faces who are utterly terrified of 10 in a row.

“Dermot Gallagher called the tackle spot on – it was an accident.”

But David Dooley, Liverpool, said: “I will be interested to see the next time Morelos makes a mistimed challenge what decision the ref makes as Kevin Clancy has set the standard for the rest of the season.”

John Bruce emailed: “There seems to be a misconception that Rangers are consistently awarded penalties throughout the season. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.

“Rangers haven’t been awarded a penalty in the league since October 2019. This is quite a remarkable statistic for a team like Rangers, who play attacking football with most of their games being played in and around the opposition’s penalty box.

“This stat doesn’t help their strikers’ goal tallies, it just makes them look that bit more impressive without penalties to bolster them.”

Hibs star Martin Boyle was in the firing line after he bundled his side’s third goal against St Mirren over the line with his arm last weekend.

Rab Hunter, Dumfries, said: “When a player is retrospectively found to have dived/cheated to win a penalty, he correctly gets suspended for bringing the game into disrepute.

“Yet, when a Hibs player cheats by punching the ball into the net, no action is taken. How can this be?”

Finally, worried Dundee United fan Ronnie Swan emailed: “I will say it again after watching Saturday’s shambles against Rangers.

“Mr Asghar, a keeper, a centre-half, a midfielder, a winger and a striker are all required now. Go and get Anthony Stokes, baggage or not.”
