Celtic got a decision after crying wolf and Rangers are just raging someone else got a 50/50 call – Hotline

After another weekend of VAR controversy, fans from across the board had a host of Hotline complaints and a few obligatory conspiracy theories. Two Scottish Viaplay Cup semi-finals and a furore over a spate of decisions drove some fans to distraction.

Kenny Wilson, Moffat, emailed: "As usual Rangers get their helping hand from the referee and everyone has just got to accept it. On the other hand, Celtic got one decision which was 50/50 at best and all the Rangers fans are up in arms. They are so used to only themselves getting decisions but when someone else gets one it’s a scandal."

Andrew Adams, Kirkcaldy, said: "Funnily enough I don't see any complaints about VAR this week, unless you're a Kilmarnock fan of course, but who gives a monkey's about what they think? It's the same old story, if you cry wolf often enough you're going to get a decision that suits you." Alan Flett said: "Just what is it with Celtic? They get everything handed to them on a plate, they get preferential treatment from the SFA, their captain can say whatever he likes to the media, safe in the knowledge there will be no repercussions. Every Scotland manager I can think of, has gone out of his way to select players based purely on the basis that they play for Celtic. Paul McStay and Tosh McKinlay are just two prime examples. We’re all sick of the whinging."
