Back in the old days the Hotline would involve moans and groans from the good and the bad from Scotland's football scene.
But it's the fall-out from a weekend of VAR controversies which dominate this column with Elie Youan's red card against Celtic star of the show. Chris Lowe, Yoker, said: "There was no bleating about referees this week from Parkhead or their media cheerleaders after the outrageous decisions that went their way against Hibs I’ve no sympathy for Hibs moaning as this is what happens when one club puts enormous pressure on officials and the other clubs turn a blind eye to it. They’ve gaslighted our officials for years that they are all terrified of Celtic."
David Knox, Queens Park, said: "Well done Celtic fans and their board for years of harassing referees, as they’ve now become untouchable. At least now other teams like Hibs and Hearts are starting to highlight the favouritism they’re shown in every game." Stuart McLeod, Stepps, emailed: "No doubt the VAR sceptics from the east end will be jamming the phone lines after the shambles of a refereeing performance at Celtic park or perhaps not. Hibs were reduced to 10 men with neither tackle worthy of a yellow card and the penalty decision for Celtic's equaliser was abysmal. All the bleating and pressure on the referees is paying off for this whingeing fan base."
