Double standards? Watch what St Johnstone have put up with at Ibrox as Clement squeals over Lundstram

Phillipe Clement has led the mourning after ‘another of his players was kicked off the park’ against St Johnstone on Wednesday night.

Big John Lundstram was the victim after Diallang Jaiyesimi won the ball at Ibrox and followed through to send the scary Scouser squealing into the night air.

Clement hasn’t been in Scottish football very long but is quickly developing a sense of entitlement as he watches James Tavernier tearing up the scoring charts while he inherits an incredible run of 72 SPFL matches without a penalty being awarded against his team.

Jaiyesimi’s challenge was reckless but not as brutal as some of the attacks that St Johnstone have been the victims of on previous visits to Ibrox.

In January with Beale mania bubbling up Adam Montgomery was the victim of a sickening attack from Ryan Jack.

Jaiyesimi at least took the ball before connecting with Lundstram, Jack never bothered with that formality as he aimed at Montgomery’s ankle with the ball an after thought on his intentions to leave one on him.

Willie Collum opted for a red card on that occasion. In the 15th minute Tavpen opened the scoring with Nicky Clark sent off before half time, a familiar theme when Saints lose 2-0 at Ibrox.

During Lockdown Kemar Roofe was guilty of an even more blatant attack on an opponent, albeit not as bad as the head high assault he’d carried out on the Sparta Prague goalkeeper later in the season.

Roofe’s assault came in the first half of a 1-0 win refereed by David Munro, with the points secure the SFA upgraded the yellow to a red card. That season St Johnstone won both cup competitions.
