The complaints section of the Hotline once again centred around VAR controversy with one fan accusing Celtic of fuelling a sense of injustice as a deflection tactic.
Record Sport columnist Chris Sutton was also getting it in the neck. Stevie Jackson, Barrhead, emailed: “All this fuss over VAR decisions going against Celtic is a smokescreen created by their fans. They know they were lucky to get away from Ibrox with a draw as they would have been well beaten if Alfredo Morelos and Malik Tillman had their shooting boots on. The final score should have been at least 4-1 for Rangers and they have been struggling to score in their recent games. So forget VAR, they should wake up and smell the coffee because big bad Rangers are coming for you and we can smell your fear.”
Jim Maxwell, Perth, Western Australia, emailed: “Connor Goldson’s arms were up before the ball was struck so there’s no doubt it was a penalty, Celtic will only get these decisions when the league is over and, then we will get the usual line about these things evening themselves out.” Harry Fitzpatrick, Ontario, Canada, emailed: “Hotline caller Ken Hutton asked. 'When are Celtic fans going to stop whining about Goldson's handball?' He doesn’t mention the recent one against Dundee Utd when the ball was nowhere near his face but hand still touches the ball.
