Michael Stewart has laughed off Danny Rohl’s claim for a penalty against Motherwell.
The German genius raised the issue in his post match media conference with none of the reporters querying the claim.
Alan Hutton and other messengers have been on the case as they attempt to deflect from the reality of Sunday’s defeat.
Motherwell were superior in every area. Kevin Clancy have the home side every marginal decision. Faced with a critical match in the race for the SPFL the home side wilted under pressure.
Ibrox fans are starting to see through Rohl.
Not being Russell Martin is no longer a justification for being in the job.
If the SPFL title isn’t one a significant number of fans will be looking for change.
It was a clear foul on the motherwell player for God’s sake , desperation has really set in with the rangers fans. pic.twitter.com/rgxHdAyx0h

Djeidi Gassama had a foot in the penalty box as he eased Lukas Fadinger off the ball.
John Beaton or David Dickinson would almost certainly have awarded a penalty.
The correct decision would have been a free kick to Motherwell.
Clancy went for the halfway option, typical of his career in refereeing.
Beaton will referee Monday’s match away to Hearts. He will be guided by Andrew Dallas on VAR. Both are members of the Lanarkshire Refereeing Association.
Trailing Hearts by four points there is no room for error for Rohl and his side.
Even a draw against Hearts will leave the Ibrox club needing more favours to win the title.
Their following match is away to Celtic.
