QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Adam Idah reminded me of another loan striker, Oliver Burke, who was as much good as Oliver Hardy’

as he took charge of his first Rangers game since the club asked for him to be banned from their matches.

Fair to say not everyone was impressed with the referee’s performance. eddie easson, Ballingry, said: “Is Willie Collum now getting invites to Rangers’ end of season dances? How it all changes. Connor Goldson commits a horror tackle and gets away with it. Silva should be walking after another cynical tackle. What does Collum do? He books Scott Brown.”

Billy Barry, Dundee, said: “I know for a fact I’m not gonna be the only one to make this point, but no wonder. That shocking lunge by Goldson on the Ayr United player could have been a career-ender.

“Goldson actually jumps off the ground and forces both feet forward. Now, Willie Collum saw it, the far side linesman saw it and Andrew Dallas, who was the VAR, was able to see it and watch it again from every possible angle. So why was nothing done about it? OK, so the Ayr player played on but why could it not have been dealt with when the move ended?”

andrew lamb, Fraserburgh, took issue with St Johnstone skipper Liam Gordon’s challenge that wiped out Dundee loanee Michael Mellon.

He said: “Yet another shocking and over-the-top challenge by St Johnstone’s Liam Gordon. This time with a Dundee player being knocked out. Rangers’ Danilo had his cheekbone shattered by the same player. Both challenges were needless. Gordon needs sending off more.”

Finally, after Ivory Coast were crowned African champions on Sunday, Neil Renton, leith, said: “Sebastien Haller’s remarkable comeback from cancer to scoring the winner for Ivory Coast and helping them to AFCON glory is the stuff of Hollywood. He’s the perfect role model compared to a lot of today’s pampered stars.”
