🤬 Pic 1 - ‘Top of the foot’
🤬 Pic 2 - ‘Not seen enough to give a penalty’
🤬 Pic 3 - ‘It definitely hits the arm’
That’s 3 utterly embarrassing decisions and the VAR review show was amateurish, at best.
So what’s the solution?
First up, Iain Maxwell, Chief Exec of the SFA, says nothing. Does nothing. He’s a puppet.
What about Willie Collum?
The former referee has been in charge of our officials for TWO YEARS.
Our referees are getting worse under his watch, in my honest opinion.
What should happen?
COLLUM NEEDS SACKED.

Have a listen to this.
It’s the best analysis you’ll hear on what’s going on in Scottish football.
It’s institutional corruption and it’s effecting not only Rangers but EVERY other Scottish club.
I don’t agree with him a lot, but @EwenDCameron is spot on here. Willie Collum as Head of Referees can’t continue - any other line of work he’d of been sacked.
The referees aren’t good enough. There are inconsistencies every single week with offsides, handballs, penalties… it’s a shambles.
This isn’t even a Rangers / Celtic issue for me, it’s Scottish football in general. Week after week the same bizarre decisions and mistakes, with the same cast of referees then rolled out the week after.
You can currently get a train from central Glasgow to Manchester Airport, but not Glasgow Airport. With over 8 million people using the airport in 2024 alone, this lack of accessibility cannot continue.
Recent increased prices for airport drop off and restricted bus links mean the airport is becoming unfeasible for many.
@GARL_2_0 are calling for the revival of the Glasgow Airport Rail Link. Check out their campaign and how to get involved👇

The full list of brands @NicolaSturgeon’s husband – her husband, the man she shared a home with while he ran the party she led – is accused of funnelling allegedly misused party funds towards reads less like political administration and more like a ‘How to Spend it’ Sunday supplement.
Start with the footwear. Handmade English shoes including from Smythson and Church shoes (owned by Prada, don’t you know) – not exactly bargain-bin trainers. Polished leather, stitched soles, heritage branding.
Then the luxury accessories. Montblanc pens and leather goods from Richemont and Montblanc in particular. Fine leather from Ettinger. Notebooks, wallets, belts – the quiet uniform of the well-heeled.
Jewellery and watches from Hamilton & Inches, Lalique, Jura Luxury Watches. Trinkets is too modest a word – these are heirloom-level indulgences.
Champagne-and-hamper retail from Fortnum’s (dahling), luxury department store splurges at Harrods and Selfridges, aspirational comfort shopping at John Lewis.
Premium spirits through The Whisky Exchange. Not a crate of supermarket lager – curated bottles, collector territory.
Designer homeware and kitchenware from Conran, Le Creuset, Robert Welch Designs, Joseph Joseph et al. Cast-iron cookware in signature colours. Crystal glassware. Architectural cutlery(?). The curated dinner party aesthetic.
High-end grooming and fragrance via Estée Lauder, MAC and Jo Malone. Lifestyle branding down to the last candle.
Technology and appliances from Dyson, AO, Ligo Electronics. Top-end vacuums, gadgets, upgrades.
Then the endless stream of interiors, fittings and upgrades – B&Q Limited, Homebase Ltd, Ironmongery Direct, Wayfair and dozens more. Renovation energy. Improvement. Enhancement. Always another box arriving.
Comfort layered upon comfort for Peter (allegedly).
And we are told that Nicola Sturgeon – his wife, the party leader, the First Minister, the woman who centralised control of message and machine – simply did not notice.
Not the scale.
Not the pattern.
Not the lifestyle inflation.
Not the steady hum of high-end retail flowing through the 100 square meter home of the most powerful couple in Scottish politics.
If ignorance is the claim, it stretches credulity to breaking point.
Because this was not happening in a distant office.
It was happening at home.
