Fabio Silva's Rangers antics would have Graeme Souness 'choking on his biscuits' as Celtic hero lets rip

John Hartson believes Fabio Silva's derby antics would have had Graeme Souness CHOKING on his biscuits.

The Celtic hero didn't hold back as he went through the Rangers loanee and reckons his OWN fans will be 'disgusted' in him. The Portuguese attacker was heavily involved in the first period going down under several challenges. Two of those incidents involved Alistair Johnston with the penalty flashpoint becoming a key talker from the weekend. John Beaton initially handed Silva a yellow card for simulation but that was removed after a VAR check with James Tavernier taking his chance to score from the penalty spot after the review.

Harston still reckons it was NOT a penalty and while he acknowledges there was slight contact he believes it was not enough to merit a spot-kick. He also thinks Silva should have been booked before that incident for his 'play acting'. Hitting out on Go Radio, he said: "I actually thought when I first saw it live that it wasn't a penalty. Looking again, Alistair Johnston gets a little nick of the ball.

"I think Silva is desperate to go over. There is slight contact on his knee but I do not think that is enough for the referee to give it.

"John Beaton gives a yellow card to Silva. He should have also had a yellow card during the game for his play acting which was absolutely ludicrous. Graeme Souness would have been choking on his biscuits watching him punching the floor as if his knee had been popped out or something like that. He gets up and walks away with nothing at all to complain about.

"That was really not nice to see. I think the Rangers fans will be disgusted in him."
