Two Penalties



Shaun Maloney fouled in the box twice, both clear penalties. Maloney booked for second one by referee Craig Thompson.

Weir and Lafferty attack


Weir tries to break McDonalds leg and adds a follow up knee to the back right in front of the referee Craig Thompson who had a clear view, free kick and no chance of a booking.

Lafferty (again) high feet left in to catch ZZ's groin, the Daily Record thought this was worth a full page photo with headline 'Welcome to Glasgow China.'

Total number of Rangers players booked in this game: Two - Mendez and Novo for fouls so blatent he had to book them.

Total number of Celtic players booked: Four, two incorrectly for 'diving.'

Lafferty attacks McManus, as instructed?



Last minute instructions very similar to the one Cousin recieved from the same man the season before. Is that a wink directed towards the bench 37 seconds into this?

No booking.

McCulloch getting away with elbowing yet again.


Red card offence, no red card issued, incident not included in 'highlights' or mentioned again. Not even considered for Video Review Panel. Player available for selection in next game, the Glasgow Derby. Referee Ian Brines.

Celtic Penalty, last minute v Dundee United

The referee Conroy had a very quiet week until he upset Rangers at Kilmarnock.



As blatent a hand ball as you will ever see, was not shown on many highlights packages, hardly mentioned by the media (Unlike the Naismith thing when Seville beat Rangers 1-4).

Bougherra Red Card


Red card during the game, media appeal, last Glasgow derby re-arranged to suit, red card quickly recinded and player made available to play in the last fixture.

Kris Boyd dive.

Hundit co-commentating thought this pathetic attempt at cheating was hilarious. A little known incident unless you read good football web sites.

Kevin Thomson Dive

Blatent cheating by Rangers, referee Stuart Dougal books the Celtic player.

Neil Lennon fouled in box at Ibrox

Blatent penalty, referee Kenny Clark says no.
