You can’t whack a bot of title pressure. Especially now that Celtic have overtaken Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
The Ibrox club surrendered two points last Sunday at Ibrox in the 3-3 draw. And yesterday at Dingwall, Philippe Clement lacked class as the Rangers manager went down 3-2 to Ross County.
However, it was Celtic’s game against St Mirren that had all the Rangers fans spitting feathers.
After the Hoops finally broke down a stubborn Buddies defence, Brendan Rodgers‘ side worked extra hard to ensure when Rangers’ game-in-hand is to be played, the Bhoys can sit back and relax and watch the action unfold knowing that the top spot is theirs unless they do something daft to let it go.
Celtic fans call out Reo Hatate agenda
It’s late (or early this Monday morning) and nothing is wrapped up yet. With the temperature rising in the title race, Rangers blinked first as their dropped points sparked a fury of social media replies of disgust.

And I include this character in this as well:
A Rangers fan complaining about diving is like one continuing to moan about VAR when it is their club that benefits most from some of the worst refereeing decisions this season.
And these Celtic fans let him know all about it:
Don’t remember seeing CCV running the length of the park to intimidate the referee, claiming a penalty or demanding a red card. You lot seem disappointed. Remember this happens most to us every week we’ve become immune.

Fabio Silva’s antics were on this Celtic fan’s mind:

Aye because that’s the same as the constant diving from Silva and Cantwell in EVERY game, what about the dives from the St Mirren players?😂🤣😁🙈🧟♂️

Slight contact to Hatate's foot, but more the grab at his throat area could easily have been deemed foul play.

There was contact. Therefore not a dive.

You're quiet on the saints divers too 🤔

Back under yer rock son
Hatates dive was crap
But silva brought shame and embarrassment to Scottish football last week
And only a cheat of a ref protected him
And I’ll leave the last word to this Celtic fan because, well, the Ross County result trumps all these replies:
To busy laughing about the Ross Co score
