Saint or sinner? Sporting integrity or needless generosity? Rangers boss Michael Beale’s decision to ‘give’ Partick Thistle a goal after Malik Tillman’s controversial strike on Sunday has been lauded by most fans.
But it’s left a select few on the Hotline, well err, Bealing. Martin Baird, Glasgow, said: “Every Rangers fan should be proud of our club for acting with class and sportsmanship in this Tillman goal mix-up situation. We know that other, less principled clubs, perhaps more desperate for victory at any cost, might have acted differently. Rangers should be applauded by all.”
Robert Livingstone, Palm Beach, agreed, saying: “That was certainly the highest standard of pure sportsmanship I've ever seen, considering what was at stake and the pressure he must have been under. What Beale did was an act of fair play and decency.” However, Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: “So Rangers will be the heroes after letting Partick score a goal and fair play.
