- Ignored a blatant red card that benefited Celtic
- Ignored a blatant offside goal that benefited Celtic
- Ignored a clear penalty for Motherwell that benefited Celtic
- Gave Celtic a penalty on the very last kick of the ball that would stop Hearts winning league
''There's been so much talk this week about the dreadful officiating in Scotland. The key flashpoint was the terrible tackle - and even worse assessment of said tackle - from Oxlade-Chamberlain against Motherwell. Footage of the horror tackle (OC was on a yellow at the time) has been widely shared this week and has gone global.
Scottish football doesn't need any more negative press but the fact our officials are now an internet laughing stock is a disgrace. Even worse, the footage of the VAR team's review shows that the officials at the video screens either need glasses or a new career.
To say that tackle was "boot on boot" when not only is it blatantly obvious the faded Englishman's studs are raking down the shin of the Motherwell player is dreadful. The on field referee even saw the marks the portly midfielder left on his opponents shin guard.
So why then, with the game balanced at 1-1 did VAR not advise the referee of the clear red card offence? Why in the same game was Foul Supremo Daizen Maeda not pulled up for throwing his elbow into his opponent's face?
Even the most rabid and biased Celtic fans are being left red-faced by the number of decisions that have gone their way this season. Hours of extra time to find winners. Penalties that by the admission of "top official" Willie Collum "won't be given again" to take points. Maeda being allowed to boot his fellow pros with abandon. Trusty kicking a prone opponent on the head. The list goes on and on and only one team is getting the benefits of these "mistakes".
Rangers are rightly calling for an meeting of all Premiership clubs to assess the quality of refereeing in the Scottish game. For years, the Ibrox club have been fobbed off time and time again by officials in games versus Celtic. This crazy season has put other clubs such as Hearts and Motherwell into a title race and these clubs are seeing the same thing - patterns of assistance only going in one direction.
Scotland badly needs professional officials. Every week there are glaring inconsistencies.
Sterling handball - penalty. Gogic handball - no penalty. Murray handball - penalty. No consistent interpretation of the rules by Collum's underperforming coterie.
With a title race that could go to the wire, Rangers will point to the incredible number of goals they've been robbed of, some of which have been extremely subjective.''

@FatEck That meeting was an ambush. I'm glad Zelensky didn't kiss the ring and sell his country out. Russia and the US are wanting to divide up Ukraine for land and what lies below it. Domestically, the US is in chaos after the election.

"We are all, at the end of each day, united by our love of Scotland. Because of its natural beauty, of course, but also because of its strength of character, based as it is on the extraordinary diversity of its peoples, whose range of ideas, skills, energy, passions, and frequently deeply-held beliefs, never cease to inspire me..”
