Willie Collum is very rarely not in the spotlight within Scottish football and Rangers' clash with St Johnstone on Saturday was no different as the whistler made several contentious decisions.
The Light Blues triumphed 2-0 winners courtesy of James Tavernier's 13 minute penalty and a second half Glen Kamara strike. And the result puts Michael Beale's men within six points of Premiership leaders, Celtic, who visit Dundee United on Sunday.
It was a dominant showing from Rangers who handed Todd Cantwell an Ibrox debut and saw Ianis Hagi return after a long-term injury. However the proceedings could have panned out very differently had the officials took different viewpoints on several key decisions. Nicky Clark was shown red on 36 minutes for a late challenge on Ryan Jack but the Gers midfielder could've been handed his marching orders minutes after too. Instead the on pitch referee, Collum, and VAR man Nick Walsh deemed it only worthy of a yellow, which left Saints boss Callum Davidson furious on the touchline.
