Rangers v Celtic: SFA to take action after what Philippe Clement did.
At halftime of the 3-0 victory on January 2, the Belgian approached Don Robertson. Ianis Hagi was not given a foul, and Nico Raskin was the only player booked following a brawl with Callum McGregor. In a convincing first Old Firm victory for Clement, Hagi opened the scoring at Ibrox with goals from Robin Propper and Danilo in the second half.
The former FIFA referee said in an exclusive interview with Ibrox News that Clement ought to have been disciplined as soon as he stepped onto the pitch. He declared, “It is unacceptable and disappointing that the referee, who has had an excellent first half, did not pull out a yellow.” “The Rangers manager entered the field of play at halftime to confront the referee,” he claimed.
