Rangers wrote a letter slaughtering Willie Collum. Will they now be sending John Beaton a note of gratitude?
Make no mistake, the referee and the SFA, have done the Ibrox club a massive favour by letting Alfredo Morelos off the hook.
They’ve also made Scottish football look like a stitch up.
A friend of mine called on Thursday afternoon after the decision was announced and said, ‘I know there are all these conspiracies in Scottish football, but letting Morelos off just makes it looks like the SFA want Rangers to win the league’.
I had no answer to him. What could I say? That’s exactly what it looks like.
Look, this is not a case sour grapes. I said in my column earlier in the week. Rangers were the better team, they deserved to win the match and Morelos is the best striker in the league.
But any sane supporter in Scotland will admit Morelos was extremely fortunate to stay on the pitch. Simple as that.
If they had applied the rules correctly then El Buffalo would have been on the end of three separate red cards.

I agree and I don't think anyone else disagrees with the fact he's a hot head at times.
he does receive a lot of stick from the opposition.
I think he's not as cute at disguising things as other players did on the day.

3 calls tho Blue, and its a player who seems to do it fairly regulalry.
good player, but dangerous and a bit stupid.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But not unlike Sutton on his day until he gets the 1st yellow he will keep doing them.
If he gets a yellow for the 1st the other 2 maybe don't happen. Big feckin deal.
Celtic players were let off with plenty too. Some of them on morelos in fact

I’m sure if the media zoomed in on a lot of players after every match they would find a large percentage of them have fly wee digs and fore arm smashes

Ralston's reaction was worthy of a booking. Cheatin khunt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a tim on here who said just as well for Morelos that Ralston didn’t make a big deal out of it.
To say I was flabbergasted would be a slight understatement
That’s what happens when you’ve got the green blinkers on tho

Boot in the baws for Brown - Should have been a yellow. Red would have been OTT, but the referee could have pedantically justified it. On balance, probably not worth a card at all because everyone wants to give Broony a kick in the baws for all the kicks and elbows he's doled out over the years.
"Stamp" on Ralston - Grow up ffs, he lightly dragged his foot on his back, no force in it at all. Petulant, could have been a yellow, should have just been a slap on the wrist.
"Grabbed Christie's baws" - 'mon now, Christie had a wee kick at him, Morelos shoved out a hand to push him away. Hee haw in that at all.
Manufactured outrage from Celtic to divert the fans' attention away from how outplayed they were.
