Rangers fans fume over Celtic referee howlers but all bang out same title mantra – Hotline

There was plenty to talk about in the wake of another bout of midweek mayhem in Scottish football and Pittodrie was the focus of most of the chat.

And in particular, Jota ’s winning goal for Celtic which had fans from the Granite City to Govan foaming at the mouth.

Alan McPherson,Cullen, Moray, started us off with this: “I went to Pittodrie last night fully expecting Celtic to comfortably beat us given the devastating form they have been in and at half time I was feeling this was going to prove to be the case after giving away two bad goals.

“However I dared to dream of an unexpected point after a great fight back when we levelled the score but thanks to the incompetence and/or bias, the ref and linesman couldn’t see that Abada was offside and preventing Bates from getting to Jota who scored.

"This was the latest in a long line of bad decisions which have gone against us this season and could have repercussions come the end of the season. I may also say that almost all the other teams have been at the wrong end of bad decisions by officials except, no surprise, the two Glasgow giants.”

Harry Ross, Stirling, said: “Don’t laugh, but I’m a neutral. I’m English and love reading your Hotline . I can’t help noticing how Celtic keep getting breaks from referees this season. It’s very noticeable. Their winner against Aberdeen was another example. It’s a fantastic title race but this is starting to ruin the enjoyment.”
