To be fair, I didn't think it was a second yellow.
He was going to get sent off after what he perceived as a bad tackle on him and he was intent on leaving a mark on the left back!

I thought Celtic played very well tonight. It should have been more comfortable than it was.

A good result for Rangers as well. I didn't see too much of the game. I can't quite work out what happened at the sending off. Looked like all three players were having a nibble and it looked aggressive. I'm sure if the ref realised it was a second yellow one of the other two would have been booked.

Both teams still with a chance to progress. Both games will be far from easy.

fk knows what happened at the red card. Just seemed like a couple players had a minor nibble but nothing anywhere near a yellow card (for my money, sans replays).

In both teams’ hands going into the 6th game, I’m certain I would’ve taken that at the start of the group and I expect the Celtic fans would too.

Rangers to get through and meet Liverpool next year hehe

Second yellow.

At the time I thought it was harsh, but now.........

As I said he was going to leave a mark on him,but to be honest getting a man sent off was the best thing that happened for rangers because Villarreal looked far more likely to score when rangers had 11.

I’ll reserve judgement until I see a video but for now I’ll stand (to be corrected) by my initial instincts that it was very harsh.

On another note, we’re incredibly (un!?)lucky in that we have probably 4 world class players in 2 positions for the national team in McGregor, Gordon, Tierney and Robertson. If any of those four had been born an attacker we might have had a different recent international history.

The video will show that Morellos should have been booked for the first foul so rangers are lucky he is available for the last group game.

Glad we’re in agreement the ref was lacking in competence smile

Maybe rangers could come out and question the refs integrity again? wink

Glasgow man charged after glass bottle incident at Aberdeen v Rangers match
By Evening Times Online

The bottle landed in the home section of the South Stand of Pittodrie Stadium shortly before the end of the SPFL match between Aberdeen and Rangers on Sunday August 5.

It was reported a 12-year-old boy was hit by the bottle in a "glancing blow" but was not injured.
On Thursday, police released CCTV images of a man they wanted to trace in connection with the incident in Aberdeen.
Officers said a 44-year-old man from Glasgow has now been charged in relation to an alleged culpable and reckless conduct incident.

He is expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court at a later date.

This is the Scottish football thread, where any minor misdemeanour by Rangers, a Rangers player or Rangers fans can be flagged up, dissected and debated to death, whilst ever so slightly more serious crimes by people very close to Celtic are given complete radio silence.

Know your place.

Throwing a bottle a minor misdemeanour?

Really?

In this instance nobody was hurt, as I understand it. Stupid, irresponsible and unacceptable but basically long distance littering.

Indeed, launching a projectile into a crowd knowing that there’s a good chance it will strike someone is bad enough

Knowing after the event that it struck a child and writing it off as “littering” inidicates the mindset at play

They truly are “the people”

Interesting that you link my post to my being a Rangers fan and can’t separate the two. Prejudice much?

As I understand it nobody was hurt, and I’m glad that is the case. It was shocking and totally irresponsible behaviour. We have laws based on consequences in this country and thankfully there were no serious consequences, hence my littering comment. I trust he will be punished appropriately as we can’t have eejits launching stuff about football stadia.
