It was one of many puzzling, well not really, more highly predictable decisions given by Kevin Clancy during the second half of Saturday’s Glasgow Derby.
Whenever there was any contact in the Celtic half the whistle went with James Tavernier or Borna Barisic preparing to launch one.
There were no injury stoppages in the second half but Clancy found five minutes of stoppage time which he extended by another 60 seconds.
In the 80th minute John Souttar pushed Oh Hyeon-gyu over in the penalty box, Clancy saw nothing as another offensive on the Celtic defence was launched.
After being repeatedly caught cold by Celtic’s quickly taken free-kicks, throw-ins and bye-kicks in September Micky Beale’s side seemed to be under orders to spoil and play for time at every opportunity. Even their own restarts.
I think we should write to the SFA.

Borna Barisic took that a few steps too far when his side won a bye-kick in the 85th minute.
As Sead Haksabanovic got up off the ground he was grabbed round the next by the Ibrox defender to prevent him from quickly getting back into place to prepare for the resumption.
Gormless Clancy trotted over having watched the incident in full, copped out with a quiet word and almost a smile- in marked contrast to the early yellow card for Cameron Carter-Vickers as Alfredo Morelos went squealing.
Order will be restored in the next 2 games against them,brothers Beaton and Walsh will be in charge of those games,then watch for the real proper decisions going sevco’s way.
I don’t think we should. We don’t want to join them in the gutter.
That was pretty much the story for Huns u do what I want try no to make it too obvious , I would,ve broke his arm but I,m just as big as him ,never liked a bully an that,s what that was trying to be . A Hole first class
Moreloss went down in agony holding his lower leg, but managed a head-up recce to see if the Ref had bought it. And Barisic and Jack again have their hands all over the Celtic players. Like a couple of old perverts at a teen disco.
Fink he had a total red mist moment and then appeared to come out his stupor
It shouldn’t need asking…
