Alfie might’ve left the boot in on Porteous, he might not of, but whatever the case Hibs fans are adamant he should’ve walked and have piled on the outrage online.

This follows a concerted effort by the commentary team at Sky Sports to demand retrospective action as their salty tears became a tonic for Rangers’ victory.

Despite a few flashpoints in the match, it was Morelos’ clash with Porteous with grabbed all the headlines with plenty conveniently failing to mention those naughty incidents with Hibs.

Darren McGregor – for all his Oscar-worthy acting after the incident – stamped on Glen Kamara and all-but admitted it in the post-match interview.

Wonderkid Porteous went flying into Alfredo Morelos in the opening stages of the match in a potential leg-breaker which somehow went unpunished.

Nonetheless, Morelos continues to be a thorn in the side of the Hibees and here is some of the saltiest (but cleanest) reactions to the wee man’s performance up in Edinburgh:
