I like the Souness idea to solving the VAR problem with marginal offsides. Change the offside rule and if any part of the attacking player is onside then he's onside. Benefit of the doubt to the attacker level with the defender worked pre VAR. Now to the Morelos dilemma. The moment he gets yellow carded he's subbed for Defoe. I know it may wipe millions off his sell on price but at least we play 90 minutes with 11 players. And just, a big just, he might learn.

Agree on hindsight, bringing Defoe on would have been a good move. But I know speaking for myself I was willing him to finish a great game by scoring. Also his physical play was working, he caused them issues the entire game, Defoe is a great player but I feel we would have lost that at a critical stage in the game. Alfie is what he is, like many great players they have their issues like we all do. But to change his attitude completely changes his style. He knew what he was doing for both cards and rolled the dice, which made it easy for a referee waiting on it. i'm sure he will get wiser in time.

totally agree geddes - alfie was a nightmare to their defence - start to finish. he is from a country where diving is allowed. up to the manager to sort it out - no biggy.

Mrgrumpy you're splitting hairs. He's on a yellow and simulates the most ridiculous dive I've seen from a Rangers striker. How do you justify defending it by virtue of being in the 96th minute?

It's in the 95+ min, the game was won, should he have dived? Course not. We kept him on the park because c*ltics new van dyke, ajar and Gillian couldn't handle him. Morelos had a great game yesterday.

Players work tirelessly to get Morelos sent off, the way they surround the ref anytime he looks like committing a foul is laughable, but that’s the best they’ve got and fear the pressure of trying to win fair and square, for every team in the league (all of them) they’re inadvertently paying Morelos and Rangers a huge compliment as they’re admitting that they can’t deal with us and need to resort to dirty tactics, if they put as much effort into their game as they do trying to get our men sent off, they’d probably perform better.

Geddes, you say in hindsight taking Morelos off would have been a good move then the rest of your post is spent explaining exactly why it wouldn't have been a good move. Morelos played a whole 96 minutes and was a thorn in their flesh every single moment he was on that pitch. You cannot start taking players off because they've been booked, it would destroy confidence, make them fearful and generally would quickly lead to a downward spiral in the dressing room.

Morelos is our star player, always a target for the bigots in black. You are right, he will get wiser in time, people forget that for all his accomplishments he is still just 23, a year younger than our fans' current favourite to replace him, Lawrence Shankland, who has achieved exactly nothing.
Support Morelos!

Kfraser, the worst dive by a rangers player? I think about the big gangly boy, now scoring loads in europe, his name slips me. can't remember his name, sadiq?
