A hung jury and hostile witnesses. That’s what it looked – and sounded – like inside the court of public opinion at Ibrox on Thursday night.
There was one moment of levity that cut across the palpable tension of the occasion. Funny if you were a neutral observer, that is. I predicted here last week that the very sight of Hibs’ Aiden McGeady would mean he would get it “tight” from the home crowd for his past history, which included a time with the team across the road on the other side of the city. But I wasn’t prepared for a couple of things.
First of all, the crescendo of booing that accompanied Aiden’s arrival off the subs’ bench in the second half was pantomime comical. McGeady left the team across the road on the other side of the city 12 years ago and has since played for Spartak Moscow, Everton, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland, Charlton Athletic and now he’s at Hibs.
