Michael Stewart could hardly believe what he was hearing when he tuned in to Super Scoreboard last night for their interview with Stewart Robertson.
For the last month the former Hearts midfielder has had to share debate with apologists like Tom English, Neil McCann, Richard Gordon and guests campaigning for an independent investigation into something at the SPFL.
Scot Gardiner of Inverness Caley Thistle got the ball rolling on April 11, among those called on to support the cause was Gregory Campbell. Even English seemed a little uneasy at that level of contributor.
Smoking guns and silver bullets have been on the menu, when pushed on what to expect from the fabled dossier the BBC panel have fallen back on ‘well there must be something’ to back up their blind faith.
Yesterday the general reaction when the dossier was released was ‘Is that it?’.
As supporters across Scotland replaced anger with laughter a tweet from Ibrox warned that they won’t be bullied into silence. At tea-time Robertson took the story full circle when he denied that his club had ever used the term bullying!
Stewart Robertson has just made things even more embarrassing for Rangers. To claim that the club haven’t spoken about bullying is beyond belief. Their statement on April 11th which the club RT’d today literally uses that word!

To extremely generous to Rangers the SPFL statement says Rangers claimed “corruption” and they didn’t explicitly do that. It was basically implied but not explicitly said like everything else was.
