Rangers boss Steven Gerrard appeared to criticise Kevin Clancy for failing to send off Christopher Julien in the Ibrox club’s 2-1 win over Celtic at Parkhead. Clancy awarded Celtic a soft penalty whilst ignoring shirt-pulling against Rangers players, let a handball goal from Odsonne Edouard stand and also sent off Alfredo Morelos for a second…

I said before KO that I was worried about him , if katic was booked for pulling a jersey then why was boggin bolli not given a second yellow for a worse pull back , why was christie not given a second yellow for any one of the five fouls commuted before he was subbed let alone the punch on the family jewels of alfie and dont get me started on the fact he had a perfect view of the ball being diverted by the hand of od , he is a clown always has been and will get another chance to punish us , but the thing that worries me is that the 4th official is in line to referee the next match at ibrox , he had the laws of the game to rule out the goal but did nothing even when the (ifab) rules allowed him

Clancy has been looking for Alfie every game since his decision at Shittodrie was rescinded last season.He reffed the cup game and replay and booked him in both , once for diving .The only surprise was he left it until so late but I suppose he was running out of time .
The first booking was a nothing bump on Broon but he had his card out of his pocket so quick he nearly burned himself .
I agree with Govanblue about Bolingoli and Christie who were both let off with bookings after being booked so why couldn`t he do the same with Alfie .I think we all know why.
Stevie G was being nice after the game and preferred to enjoy the win but its time we went after Clancy and the nut jobs at the SFA who think it is okay to put lower graded refs in charge of this fixture just to give them experience. .

Agree totally with both of the above…thing is Clancy did run out of time to send off Alfie …4mins of extra time he added…sent off Alfie in 96th.My question to him is How he could justify adding an extra 2 mins onto the 4 mins when on the 2nd half of 45 mins he added 4 mins.Needs to go back to school and count or was he hoping Celtic could score!!

Like all the others, I find the unbalanced decision making perverse. At least 2 Rangers players had their shirts pulled in the box, Morelos just before he spins to try and put Aribo in, then Aribo at the corner just before the second goal. But ref didn’t see either of them.
Morelos first yellow was not enough to warrant a card, unless it was for repeated fouling. But then why did none of them gets first and second cards for the same offence, as others have noted above.
I agree with Govanblue and wlgers, and like lmltel I fail to see how Alfredo can be sent off in the 6th of 4 minutes injury time. FFS, I can’t see where he got 4 minutes from in the first place, except “Fergie time”
Glad you had a good day Danny. Only Celtic fan at my work is one of the 3, or is it 4, decent Celtic fans, so I don’t rip him when we win and he doesn’t rip me when they win. He even hates Scott Brown

There were two incidences that were clear Katic held the shirt in the box. Penalty OK. The Celtic player also held the shirt in almost exactly the same position clear on the TV no Penalty. You cannot score with your hand regardless of the position accidental or not. If it hits your arm and goes in its no goal. I think Clancy was 20 yds from the play. I feel it may be prudent to ask the English FA to provide a ref as the ones we have are second rate. VAR what is the SFA doing why are we so far behind? God these people are Dinosaurs.
