No one could fault Lewis Smith for briefly losing his cool. What would you expect from the St Johnstone videographer positioned behind Allan McGregor’s goal?
Celtic’s defending of set-pieces has rightly been slaughtered this season but if anyone is putting together a video lesson on how not to defend a corner they can start with Chris Kane’s 121st minute effort at Ibrox yesterday.

Despite the briefings of Michael Beale it seemed that no one in Steven Gerrard’s team knew what to do when a six foot four bearded goalkeeper in lime green planted himself on the six yard box.
Allan McGregor stayed rooted to his line, no defenders wanted to go near Zander Clark with the keeper nodding the corner goal-wards off the boot of Chris Kane into the net.
After three years of trying Gerrard has yet to get his hands on a domestic cup, so far he has managed one final defeat, one in the semi-final and no-where on four further attempts.
In his first season in management Callum Davidson is two matches away from completing a domestic cup double.
