There's a very unfortunate Rangers reason why Philippe the forgetful recalls the referee gripes he wants to – Hotline

Rangers shot down Scott Brown’s Ayr United side to reach the Scottish Cup last eight thanks to a Silva bullet.

And the fans dialling up the Hotline reckon frontman Fabio can fire the Ibrox side to further success this season. Gavin MacLeod, Renfrew, was first on to say: “The Scottish Premiership has had its fair share of superstars from the EPL who have flopped - but Fabio Silva is starting to look the real deal. You can see the abundance of ability but, more importantly, the connections with his team-mates and work ethic. Big Phil Clement and Nils Koppen have recruited well here - and Wednesday should see us climb to the summit for the remainder of the season.”

Gareth Friel, Edinburgh, added: “Silva looks like a quality addition and is already among the goals. I’m not sure he's an out and out striker, though, so I would be excited to see him supporting someone like Kemar Roofe or Danilo when they return from injury.”

Gordon Hendry, Ochiltree, has concerns about the on-loan Wolves ace, however: “Whilst Philippe Clement has done a good job since he has arrived at Ibrox he's no miracle worker and will never make Fabio Silva a centre forward, as shown against Ayr despite him scoring. I feel sorry for the lad being played out of position instead of on the wing or ideally as a No10. Let’s hope the lack of a decent centre forward doesn't cost us the chance of winning the league."

Scott Brown wasn’t happy with Willie Collum after the referee chose not to give Silva a second yellow card. And Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: “As a fan who pays money I have a right to speak out but under stupid SFA rules, managers don't. Will Scott Brown be punished or will the SFA ignore his comments? I know other managers have been punished for
