It didn’t come as a shock or surprise but it was a sickening blow just the same when Aberdeen ‘conceded’ an 80th minute penalty at Ibrox.

In the build up to the match Dons fans on social media had highlighted the danger posed by John Beaton, the man with a whistle from The Crown Bar in Bellshill.

Beaton has a long history of given decisions in a certain direction going back to a shocker against Albion Rovers in 2014 that robbed the Coatbridge side of a famous cup win at Ibrox.

Tonight there was fresh air between David Bates and Fashion Sakala as the Ibrox substitute hit the deck. Instead of booking Sakala Beaton pointed to the penalty spot, Tav converted and a point was salvaged.

Within minutes the incident was being shared across social media, below are some of the mellower comments on the Aberdeen twitter account.
