OPINION
Rangers’ managing director Stewart Robertson has caused quite a stir with his accusation that the BBC have vilified Alfredo Morelos and are biased in their coverage of the Ibrox club. Understandably, BBC Scotland’s chief sports writer Tom English has not taken sides with Robertson and has suggested that the Gers chief is deflecting attention from the current matter at hand – another title heading to Celtic Park. Many Celtic fans have reacted to English’s tweet, defending the BBC’s coverage and accusing Rangers of paranoia, which sounds about right to be honest. Morelos deserves his ban. It wasn’t a “trial by Sportscene” or whatever Robertson wants to call it, it was the Scottish FA making the correct decision to dismiss his appeal after a correct in-game decision by Bobby Madden. Celtic fans have every right to be bemused by Robertson’s comments, as does the BBC. Scottish football has always been a circus, but in the last month it has reached a new level of absurdity. Rangers always seem to be right in the middle of it.
On Saturday Rangers dropped league points for the 11th time this season. Now trail Celtic by eight. Steven Gerrard very critical of his players again. Here’s Stewart Robertson criticising the BBC https://t.co/XsWRR2vSj8

Distraction and diversion Zero complaints when decisions go with them as is norm with most teams Compliance system is clearly flawed but paranoid explanation involving Sportscene absurd

This mob have flipped. Absolutely lost the plot and pointing fingers in every direction to try to distract from the shambles within Ibrox. Trial by sportscene ?

The league's gone again so we will find someone who's anti rangers and the stupid fans will buy it. Without doubt the stupidest fans on the planet
