‘Do Gers fans forget what they put Willie Collum through after the Old Firm? Yet when Celtic react to John Beaton it’s a crime’

-

had more bottlers than Irn-Bru and had more chance of beating Hearts at Rothesay Castle than Tynecastle. Well done to Steven Naismith’s Hearts securing third spot now and a Europa League place. Brendan Rodgers must go and also the board and take his misfits with him.”

Stuart Mcleod accused the Celtic boss of double standards. He said: “I would like to know if Brendan Rodgers would now like to change his opinion on St Mirren player Toyosi Olusanya receiving a red card whilst playing against Celtic. Because I recall Brendan telling us it was a straight red-card offence whilst telling us on Sunday with a straight face that Celtic’s red was a yellow-card offence.”

alan Fleet emailed: “What are they complainin­g about? The only decision the ref got wrong was to award them a penalty, which they missed! The Yang sending-off and the Hearts penalty were soft but the correct decisions in the laws of the modern game.”

But among the anger from Celtic, Rangers fans have had the script flipped on them – with punters pointing to the club’s reaction to the failure to penalise Alistair Johnston for handball on derby day earlier this year. Ken campbell, Rutherglen emailed: “Do the Rangers fans convenient­ly forget how their club and manager reacted after the last Old Firm game and what they put Willie Collum through? Yet when Celtic react similarly with John Beaton it’s crime of the decade. Kettles and pots.”

Amid a string of controvers­ial calls Tam Williamson, lanarkshir­e, demanded VAR to be scrapped immediatel­y.

He said: “Surely VAR must be banned in Scottish football, this is the biggest shambles ever to come into the sport. People no longer enjoy the matches NO MATTER what team they support.”
