Well, obviously, particularly, at the present moment, I think that Scottish football really must stop going on about our referees.

Craig Levein, Craig Brown, Jim Gannon, Terry Butcher, Tony Mowbray and now Gus MacPherson have all had a blast at referees in the past for decisions made favouring Rangers at crucial moments in matches, But they’re all wrong.

We get terrible decisions against us, too, and I’m sure if I try hard enough I’ll be able to come up with at least one or two.

I mean, at the present moment, surely if referees were getting it wrong or were biased, Stuart Dougal or Kenny Clark would mention it in their newspaper columns or their latest after-dinner speech?
