The Celtic penalty claim at Ibrox that the mainstream won’t touch

With the Don Robertson/VAR Deflection Squirrel running freely it seems that one Ibrox flashpoint has been airbrushed out of the mainstream.

Ibrox fans are absolutely raging at the defeat, even by their own standards of entitlement and delusion Sunday’s result was jarring with only one man to blame.

Ten months of unfiltered praise, crowing over signing a collection of absolute no-marks with barely an honour on their collective CV’s came home to roost as a motivated and organised Celtic side came away with the points from Ibrox.

There wasn’t a crumb of consolation to be salvaged, at the final whistle they looked across the pitch as Tony Ralston congratulated his defensive colleagues of a baby faced Swede, some guy from Shamrock Rovers and a sleepy Argie.

Early on Monday afternoon news was leaked to the favoured messengers about the letter sent to the SFA seeking an explanation over why the Laws of the Game were applied to disallow a ‘goal’ from Kemar Roofe.

Sky Sports and BBC Scotland have refused to go near the tag team attack on Kyogo Furuhashi when the Celtic striker was pushed by Jack Butland towards Connor Goldson who ensured that the striker ended up lying on the ground.

The overall incident has been reviewed in the media, Goldson praised for his recovery and block but the conclusion to the incident appears to have been embargoed.

Feeding the Deflection Squirrel Dermot Gallagher remains a trusted favourite despite last refereeing a match in 2007, in Scotland Steve Conroy and Des Roache continue to audition for a Sportsound seat alongside Kenny Macintyre, Tom English, Alasdair Lamont, Neil McCann, Kenny Miller, Jane Lewis, Richard Foster and Steven Thompson.
