It seems that Scottish football fans and pundits like Kris Boyd and Michael Stewart will never come to terms with the Laws of the Game being applied in Celtic matches.
From the glitzy TV studios to the dangerous dark corners of social media they can’t accept that Scotland’s most successful club are entitled to the same Laws as everyone else.
Most pundits simply take their opinions from the noisiest of Ibrox fans. Now given media access at Ibrox and regular platforms on BBC Scotland to legitimise their paranoia.
Boyd plays to them 90% of the time. Stewart is a recent convert.
Both have been traumatised by the decision taken at Fir Park on the evening of May 13.
Just as they thought that they were about to break free from the living nightmare of Celtic domination those pesky laws were applied.
BOYD LEADS THE MELTDOWN
Derek McInnes found it disgusting. Ally McCoist was distressed.
All because Celtic were awarded a penalty for handball from Sam Nicholson. After he had planted his elbow into Auston Trusty’s face.
It was so obvious that Andrew Dallas couldn’t ignore it. John Beaton couldn’t disagree.
Celtic got the penalty. Kelechi Iheanacho scored. Celtic won with Scottish football plunged into a depression that it’ll never recover from.
On and on they droned and moaned.

Over the summer the madness and paranoia has intensified.
The shutters are down.
It seems that Beaton and Dallas have been outed as undercover Celtic men.
What next David Dickinson and family? Steven McLean and family?
Two of the 18 SPFL Premiership referees work at Boclair Academy, the partner school of the Murray Park starlets. Step forward Nick Walsh and Grant Irvine.
There are 360 Secondary Schools in Scotland. 18 SPFL referees. Two of them in daily contact with Murray Park.
At Ibrox last week Vanja Drogojevic ran straight at Jason Kerr without looking at the ball. VAR intervened to award a penalty.
Co-commentator Stewart was outraged.
On Sunday at Tannadice Celtic’s second goal cleared a VAR check since no Laws were broken. On VAR duty Greg Aitken could have disallowed it he would have.
Studio guest Stewart was outraged.
MSP Steven Flynn was also outraged, perhaps he is looking for a gig on the Scottish media circuit after giving up his Westminster jolly serving the English monarchy.
“Celtic are the only club that benefits from handball goals, no other club gets that decision”…
Here’s a video of Joe Newell scoring a blatant handball against Celtic 2 months ago. No outcry ? pic.twitter.com/NmGtiscf65
