Another Rangers game on Sky Sports, another match where the club’s supporters have railed against the broadcaster’s choice of commentator.
For many Ibrox supporters, Ian Crocker has something in for Alfredo Morelos and this was a feeling echoed on Twitter in the aftermath of the match.
Morelos was right in the thick of it once more as the striker was unfairly yellow carded for simulation and denied a clear penalty by referee John Beaton.
The incident would blow up in the face of Beaton at halftime who refused to speak to a visibly aggrieved Steven Gerrard before eventually sending the Ibrox gaffer to the stands.
Crocker – who has previously angered Rangers fans with his coverage of the striker – would instead focus on a lack of reaction from Morelos.
The Colombian striker has found himself at the centre of plenty of storms this season and for some supporters, the likes of Crocker have blown incidents out of proportion with their coverage.
This culture of trial by media must be challenged by the incoming compliance officer but Rangers fans remain frustrated with how Morelos is covered by the likes of the commentator.
Plenty took to Twitter to remonstrate with Crocker’s coverage after the match as the bad blood continues between the broadcaster and a Rangers support defending their striker:

Rangers have since decided to appeal the yellow card for simulation – which they’ll surely win – but there’s a wider point to be made about the treatment of Morelos.
The Colombian striker’s agent even came out firing on Twitter following the penalty incident that never was just weeks after slaughtering the SFA decision-making process.
