Charlie Nicholas has told Rangers to get their priorities straight and focus on matching Celtic on the pitch instead of complaining to the SFA.
The Ibrox side wrote to the governing body demanding an explanation over Kevin Clancy's decision to chalk off Alfredo Morelos' first-half goal against their rivals on Saturday. Celtic went on to win the game 3-2 and the club revealed on Monday night they were "astonished" to hear back from the SFA who said they stood by Clancy's decision.
Most pundits agreed the decision to penalise Morelos for a push on Alistair Johnston was soft but in the end it was individual errors from Ben Davies and John Souttar, who gifted Kyogo and Jota gilt-edged chances which the Celtic stars took, that allowed their rivals to race into a 12-point advantage at the top. Rangers are now winless in three derbies this season and Nicholas, writing in his Scottish Daily Express column, says Michael Beale's team should be more focused on their own shortcomings than the referees'.
