Rangers manager's comments on referee don't make any sense

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard’s comments after the Scottish Cup defeat have grabbed plenty of headlines, but one line seems to have slipped by and it is an absolutely baffling claim from Ibrox boss. After referee Steven McLean was rightly hammered from all sides for his woeful performance, Gerrard has claimed their performance was “fine” contrary…

The officiating was terrible not just for or against rangers but for hearts as well and as bad as it was it’s not even an excuse for the performance or result

It’s quite obvious to me Stevie G was saying the teams performance was far worse than the refs, in other words he was not blaming ref for poor result, the ref was terrible for both teams and Stevie G is accepting the poor result is down to players…and obviously himself.
