Kevin Clancy DIDN'T cost Rangers insists Ange as Celtic boss goes to town on 'totally out of bounds' abuse

Ange Postecoglou has condemned the disgraceful abuse aimed at Kevin Clancy and insisted Rangers didn’t lose last weekend because of the referee’s big Old Firm call.

The whistler was subject to sickening messages and death threats after disallowing a first half striker from Gers striker Alfredo Morelos in the 3-2 Hoops victory at Parkhead. Postecoglou believes managers, players and club officials have to be careful not to fan the flames after games. But he insisted both teams were guilty of making more errors than the officials and Clancy was not to blame for Gers going down.

The Celtic boss said: “If you look at last week it was a game that had everything. It was exciting, we won so we were happy. I get that. But nobody can tell me that was a high quality football match. There were mistakes from both teams. Both teams made a hell of a lot of mistakes. We certainly analysed ours on the Monday.
