It’s slowly sinking in amongst the rest of Scottish football.
They call Celtic fans paranoid and obsessed but the fact is, ‘Penalty to Rangers’ are three words that is tweeted out almost every single weekend and it seems that it is now dawning on fans of other clubs that this is not a coincidence.
This is now part of our game.
As *Rangers were awarded yet another dubious spot kick in the face of adversity, it just adds to the many we have witnessed against the likes of Aberdeen and Hibs that have saved the club many points over the course of this season.
And Saturday’s tweet by Motherwell announcing the penalty was subject to some hilarious, and angry, replies as their club went down to a ten man Ibrox side:
Fair play to them, rangers have done really well since they made the ref swap at half time

Someone given that ref a phone call at half time a reminded him who they are playing put good money on VAR not sorting the old firm bias

He didnt bring him down. It was a great challenge and he got the ball but there always has to be a penalty to Rangers in every game…😱

So it seems that the message is slowly but surely filtering through Scottish football.
It’s not an SPFL weekend without those three little words.
