Ange Postecoglou says it's very 'concerning' that referee Kevin Clancy was the subject of abuse following the Old Firm derby.
The Celtic boss was reacting to the fact the experienced whistler faced heavy criticism following Saturday's 3-2 thriller at Celtic Park against Rangers. In the aftermath, while decisions were poured over by both sides of the Glasgow divide, the SFA revealed Clancy had been the subject of 'potentially criminally' messaging with chief Ian Maxwell slamming the abuse. A Police Scotland investigation was then launched.
Postecoglou believes the derby was 'riddled by mistakes' but by both teams on the pitch. The Aussie raised the point that opinions are permitted, such as his that Celtic should've had a penalty at Ibrox in January for a handball, but that its a timely reminder that the 'language used' must be taken with care.
