Tinfoil Rangers theories about Celtic are so bonkers they actually clear rivals of guilt – Hotline

It's Viaplay Cup Final week and fans are already out in force calling foul play.

Hotline regular Chris Lowe rolled out the stats suggesting Celtic get less yellow cards than they deserved and it sparked a bout of pre-Hampden finger pointing. Jamie Young, Glasgow, said: “Chris Lowe is totally correct regarding Celtic players, on average, they only get booked once every 19 tackles. Since new year, Rangers have had approx 144 fouls to Celtic 143. Rangers have had 30 yellows, Celtic nine. Celtic have the refs scared, especially going with the fact that they had to strike before because of Celtic intimidation and now Celtic hate VAR, funny that.”

Hoops fans don’t see it that way and John Caw emailed: “Chris Lowe is that busy trying to find out why referees are so favourable to Celtic he fails to see the big picture where his team get more penalties and opponents sent off than any other team in the world. Watch on Sunday and see who gets what. There will be a raffle this week for what minute Tavernier gets his penalty.”
