Ibrox View: Blatant anti-Rangers agenda continues by SFA amid fresh development this week
With referee chief Crawford Allan’s public remarks, the SFA doesn’t seem to be backing down from its animosity toward Rangers. Rangers had petitioned the association to remove Wille Collum from all of their games following his horrifying error in the team’s 2-1 loss to Celtic on December 30, but Allen has since stated on February 15 that, in spite of all of the controversy surrounding Collum, he is eligible to officiate the next Old Firm game. Allen said, via the Scottish Sun: “Willie will be in the frame with every other referee for consideration for games, whether they be in the league, in the Cup, or whatever. “We’ll make that decision nearer the time.”
The anti-Ranger agenda is obvious
It’s somewhat puzzling, to put it mildly, that the SFA chairman insists Collum is still a contender for such high-profile games in spite of Rangers’ reservations.
Their reluctance to grant clubs a formal voice in referee selections raises suspicions of bias, as Rangers had every right to voice their concerns following his misstep against Celtic.
The SFA’s seeming disdain for Gers’ worries and its determination to accept Collum in spite of prior controversy are clear examples of their bias.
Do referees prefer the Rangers?
The figures refute the long-standing joke among rival supporters that Rangers receive more penalties than other teams.
The story is getting a bit stale because Celtic actually tend to receive as many penalties as their Old Firm rivals, if not more. Hopefully, Collum is not reinstated for the game that damaged his reputation and that somebody grownup in the room is making the refereeing choices.
