Two weeks ago Micky Beale was moaning about the Jota handball as his side lost to Celtic to go 12 points behind in the title race.
Kevin Clancy took the resulting pile on, seven days later at a media conference the Ibrox boss mumbled that he was in the wrong over that call, he had apparently watched the only camera angle in the world that highlighted the handball.
Beale was calling up that old deflection tactic again today as he watched his side lose at Aberdeen, his third defeat in two months.
About 20 seconds before Bojan Miovski headed past Allan McGregor to put Aberdeen 2-0 up there had apparently been a foul on Fashion Sakala.
Just like with the ‘Jota handball’ none of Beale’s players claimed for the free-kick, perhaps the rookie boss should be more concerned about another cross coming in from James Tavernier’s territory leaving Backpost Barisic spectating at a free header into the net.
It seems that someone inside Ibrox is feeding Beale nonsense stories in the wake of defeats, it is unlikely that he will be popping up on TalkSPORT this week or sharing scouting snaps on Instagram.

One sad little Mooch.
Pathetic individual-just like sevco I suppose..
He does a lot of finking, doesn’t he?
Clutching at more straws than a wanking scarecrow.
