I'm more worried about the officials than la manga now,

 mclean/madden/dallas ffs  

Refer to the Scottish Cup semi-final 2015, ICT v Celtic, and the Meekings scandal that wrecked the Hoops' domestic treble quest hibeejim! McLean was the referee and video evidence showed he had a clear, unimpeded view of that incident! Three other ref officials didn't see it either and it proves what you can still 'get away with' as a match official and we've just observed two instances of such 'huge ref decisions' that played a massive part in condemning us to another season in the Championship. For example, had Thomson rightly ordered off Falkirk's McCracken, we would be discussing the Killie play off tie at ER. I'm hoping this time Thomson has done us a favour even though he is a devil at getting the big decisions wrong against Hibs!!! He recently sent off Celtic's Efe Ambrose for IMO a less extreme last man pk offence (ref League Cup semi v Ross County) but decided not to apply the same rule on McCracken - rightly slaughtered by pundits on bt sport and bbc sportsound!!  But again it shows me what blatant gaffes/ignored offences refs can 'walk away from' with no repercussion! Will these refs do the same against Rangers, a football club that, together with factions of it's fans, antagonise and intimidate their perceived foes? Well lets wait n see eh!!
