Rangers star Alfredo Morelos was sent off for a clash with Scott Brown yesterday and has had little sympathy for doing so.
On first glance, the Colombian striker badly let his teammates down. And the Rangers fans too.
But if you look a little bit closer, the striker doesn’t actually connect with Scott Brown in the face at all. Was the Rangers talisman harshly done by here?
As you can see, Brown rakes Morelos Achilles and the striker reacts. Granted, when you put your elbow up like that you give the referee a decision to make.
But Morelos doesn’t actually catch him and Brown makes it look much worse than it actually was.
It’s an astonishing display of brinksmanship. And further evidence that Celtic fear Rangers. Scott Brown fears Rangers.
For the first time in years, we can compete with them on the pitch. And instead of giving us a game of football, they’ll resort to these underhanded tactics. Rangers star Morelos was undoubtedly harshly done by.
It’s grimy, unsightly and completely unnecessary. Imagine they actually tried to play us at football? If anything, Rangers beat Rangers yesterday, and it sticks more in the craw that we went down to such a poor Celtic team.
It’ll be a different story when we get them back at Ibrox. Scott Brown won’t be so big then, and neither will manager Neil Lennon.
