An excellent summary of the actual events. Of course we Celtic fans are as guilty as the others. However we have real evidence of bias and cheating as Ferguson McCann proved with Jim Farry and as you pointed out the Rangers use of Employee Benefit Trusts. Keep up the good work.
I've always been of the view that Rangers and Hearts would have been quite happy to cut the league up between themselves, with arguably Rangers 1st and Hearts 2nd, and the roles reversed depending on actual results obtained. That would have benefited both Rohl and McInnes in that both fraternal Glasgow and Edinburgh clubs, would have had a financial pathway to the Champions League prestige and lucrative monies at hand. That the audacious, caretaker manager Martin O'Neil actually frustrated that theory against all the odds in the last seven league cliffhanger games, is what has reignited their fury and umbrage, at what they perceive to be refereeing bias towards Celtic, in short, a made up feeble excuse, which does not stand up to close scrutiny, to hide their patently obvious managerial and footballing failures on the field of play.

Excellent piece, until the implication of Var the Old Rangers were on the receiving end of most decisions right or wrong.
They cheated their way through Scottish football for decades and the whole Country knew it the Media and some pundits were the cheerleaders.
That is the real shame of Scotland's football and tainted titles.
Unfortunately, the narrative changes depending on what colours you wear.
Is it really about football.?
