A lot has been made in the aftermath of the Old Firm derby about Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland conceding the first goal against Celtic.
Yang Hyun-jun scored the equaliser for Hoops, and they went on to score two more goals to win the game 3-1.
While there were a number of contentious moments in the game, including a potential red card challenge on Mikey Moore, the first goal for Celtic has also been discussed a lot after the full-time whistle.
Will Rangers sack Danny Rohl if they fail to win the league?
If he goes, who would be a good replacement for him?
Mark Clattenburg believes Celtic’s opening goal should have stood
Mark Clattenburg, a former FIFA and Premier League referee, stated that while there was controversy surrounding Celtic’s opener, the right decision was made by the officials.
While he did think initially that Butland’s view could have been impacted, he looked at the incident from another angle and understood why the goal was not chalked off.
Clattenburg told Rangers News exclusively: “Celtic’s equalising goal has a hint of controversy as there are two players in offside positions near and close to the Rangers goalkeeper.
“My first impression was that the impact of these two players could have impacted the Rangers goalkeeper’s ability to play the ball or affected his line of vision.
“However, an angle from behind the goal scorer shows that the Rangers goalkeeper would not have saved the ball and the attackers did not impact him.
“Therefore, the goal was correctly given.”
Danny Rohl could leave amid links to RB Salzburg…
Who do you see replacing him?
Is Danny Rohl’s job safe at Rangers?
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Danny Rohl, as this was yet another poor performance.
More than the result, it is the display, the team selection and the lack of control of proceedings that would have annoyed the fans.
Whether or not the owners have the same view of the situation remains to be seen.
They will surely take into account that he has not had a full season at the club, and only four players have been his signings.
However, if that means that finishing third is acceptable, then standards have dropped tremendously at Ibrox.
The pre-split training break in Spain has had the opposite effect of what it should have had.
The players have returned lethargic rather than being rejuvenated, and they cannot be spared of any blame either.
