The amount of penalties Rangers have had given against them, or not given, is quite remarkable compared to Celtic.
The Ibrox club went almost two seasons without conceding a spot kick in a pattern of assistance that totally boggles the mind.
However, there was a time when ‘Penalty Rangers‘ was a common theme every matchday. And generally, it used to come with more frequency than it has of late.
But it seems that all may be about to change after what these eagle-eyed Celtic fans have spotted Philippe Clement’s side doing.
To be completely honest, this has been happening all the time over the past few season. Rangers have never been close to catching Celtic the right way so it is only natural they would use the dark arts to gain an advantage.
Just look at the use of EBTs before they died in 2012.
And this isn’t a view shared by just one fan. There are many who agree. Will we be seeing ‘Penalty Rangers’ again in the near future? We’ll find out at Easter Road this Sunday.
Definitely mate but it’s more blatant now than ever I think. Rolling about hoping that something will come from VAR at every incident.

They've been doing that for years. All so Captaon Disappointed can launch balls onto the box. Kick, rush, dive. That's all they have.

I noticed that years ago, it was maybe one of the reasons why “ra buffalo” didn’t become a better player in Scotland, his first thought when he was near a n opponent was always hit the deck, it was just as bad with the old rangers

And they know the refs and var controller’s will give it

This isn’t a new thing. Some of us remember Davie Wilson who could get touched in the centre circle and fall in the box to earn a penalty.
Ryan Kent’s favourite run was across 18yard line knowing he would either get a free kick or a penalty if someone touched him when he fell. Why has TAVPEN been so consistent from pen spot and 20yards. He knows its coming so practises daily I’m certain.
