Fan media delivers a more realistic assessment of football than the old school but there remains boundaries, especially for those outlets that enjoy media access to their club.
At every home match Heart & Hand get access to players and managers inside Ibrox after watching the match from the media gantry.
David Edgar is the voice, face and driving force of Heart & Hand but his despair over a defeat today strayed too far, especially against someone from a legal background.
Clancy disallowed a first half ‘goal’ from Alfredo Morelos after he had wrestled with Alastair Johnston. There was contact in the penalty box between the two players, as the ball arrives Morelos uses both hands to push Johnston away before putting the ball in the net.
The match referee gave a foul straight away, VAR backed it up. In the Viaplay Cup Final Morelos got away with a similar push to score, today he got caught.
Clancy had no major howlers but delighted in awarding a series of second half free kicks inside the Celtic half for the slightest of contact.
Today was his fourth Glasgow Derby, the first that Celtic have won.
