Again, you're going to bring up any decision that's ever gone against Rangers, but you'll miss the overall point. Nobody is saying our league is the East German league and that Rangers are Dinamo Berlin. If that were the case, they'd just win the league every year. What I am saying (and others) is that Rangers are refereed differently (and more favourably) compared to other teams. They often get a helping hand when they need it. They got it today. I'm not saying it wasn't a foul today. It was. But I don't think it's given at the other end, and I doubt it's given if Aberdeen aren't playing against Rangers. No Rangers player has been penalised in the VAR era in the Premiership for a shirt pull while defending. Not one. Yet they've had two penalties for just that in the 90th minute of games they'e been losing 1-0 in the last month. Are you starting to see the issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have aberdeen been penalised for a shirt pull Or a motherwell player Or a hibs player Or a dundee player? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right. Keep on this train of thought. A Hearts player and an Aberdeen player have been in the 90th minute when leading 1-0 against Rangers twice in a month. Is the penny starting to drop yet?
