Jane Lewis of BBC Scotland refuses to name Craig McPherson over ‘unacceptable behaviour’
As BBC Scotland’s face of woman’s football Jane Lewis was covering last night’s SWPL match at Broadwood.
It was such an important match that Sky Sports broadcast it live while the state broadcaster sat on the sidelines.
The 1-1 draw was followed by a disgraceful incident, one that I can’t recall happening in over 30 years.
It was a major talking point, it was trending on social media but for whatever reasons Lewis wouldn’t name the person involved or the club that employs him (for now).
It seems that the seven year stand off with Ibrox has put BBC Scotland on eggshells.
Just back from tonight’s old firm derby in #SWPL. Unacceptable behaviour at the full time whistle. The #Celtic manager says he doesn’t want to make any complaint, but isn’t sure if the club will take the same view.

I agree… just quoting Fran Alonso… calls into others.

Be careful not to mention ‘unacceptable behaviour’ & #rangers in same sentence….

Celtic shouldn’t need to make a complaint, the video speaks for itself. Not just the football authorities that should be taking action either.

Let’s hope you and your pundits are all over this and call it out

Last month
#Celtic 3 nil. Top of the league (for now). Rangers dominant but just couldn’t finish…

Not the first offence for you, Jane. We get it hurts. The proviso of, ‘for now’,I’m sure you will have lots of instances to show where you have used this terminology previously. I bet you do it every time Rangers play before Celtic, when the gap is cut to 6 points (for now)
