I love your show, as I watch it from my phone in the west suburbs of Chicago. Celtic in all my 17 years growing up in Scotland never ever got a fair shake from the referees in the SFA. I’ve now lived in the Chicago area for 40 odd years and it’s got worse as far as fair decisions are made in one teams favour.

Same here mate ! I left Scotland in 1981 to come to Ontario, Canada and in my years watching Celtic prior to leaving Scotland, Rangers got most of the decisions. In my dad's time going back to the 1930's the bias was just as bad. It seems VAR has given these bias referees another tool to advance the cause of Rangers, to the cost go the other teams in our league.

Absolutely disgusting! I’m from Scotland lived here all my life- I’m 40, my dad and grandad both say/said that bias has always been there! I’ve had uncles turned down for jobs because of “what you are” either to get a job or a promotion! I have an Irish surname again it gets a grilling from time to time- “you must be one of them” or “no question who you suppport” Let’s not kid ourselves on here- nothing is going to change, you can only get so high up as a referee if your a rangers supporting Protestant who is a mason and/or part of the orange lodge. Should be what it’s like in England- you tell everyone who you support and you can’t referee a game with them or their direct rival! This would of course mean referees from abroad needing to come in! I’d be in favour of that!

Regarding the Rangers run of 74 matches without conceding a penalty and their greater propensity to win them over Celtic’s , don’t the graphics showing the number of times the opposition have to be in the respective penalty boxes just make the same point in a different way.? Similarly with the number of times Celtic/ the Rangers need to be in the opposition boxes. to win a penalty. Startling when you see it expressed like this but essentially the same stat. Would that be a fair point?

So it isn't the same stat as getting into the box and being awarded a penalty are two separate events. The point is we would expect a correlation between them which doesn't exist in TRFC case - that's the point to be made.

Brilliant! Should be Professor Alan Morrison! At the start of the show it was mentioned that mainstay media wouldn't publish this due to commercial reasons, this is match fixing, and impacts all gambling entities. I think this is how we should argue this case, from a criminal point of view. Other clubs in the league need to start paying attention and make noise, they are being impacted financially from either being relegated or not getting European money from this, as you said it's not all about Celtic. I would hope any sane minded Rangers supporter would want a level playing field, right? There's no honour, pride or integrity, in winning by cheating. There's even more honour, pride and integrity for us knowing that we've won against all odds!

@@Pennyburn1688 a league championship that due to a pandemic was decided by the SPFL to cut short was Celtic’s doing?! That’s all you’ve got? All four scottish leagues not just the premier were curtailed. Statistically Rangers still had a chance to win assuming they won their game in hand but it would still be a gap of 10 points with 8 games to play, not impossible but very unlikely based on statistics that Celtic would lose 4 of those last 8 games. What if Motherwell won all their games and Rangers lost 5 of their 9 last games, no CL money, maybe no Gerrard? One season you are talking about Celtic ‘cheating’, what about all the league titles since we don’t know how long, Rangers have had a helping hand, doesn’t that bother you, that you haven’t won the league fair and square?
