Brendan Rodgers Celtic ban decision splits the Jury as Rangers land unanimous Europa League verdict

Michael Gannon: It’s inevitable he’ll get done and the rules are clear on questioning the competence of officials - regardless if they have a point. It just depends on how severe he’s hit and if he’ll miss Ibrox.

Graeme Young:Rodgers was het-up in Gorgie but the man who has made a career out of staying cool on the touchline will be aware his direct claims about John Beaton leaves little wiggle room. But the protracted date will offer plenty of time to fight the charge.
