First of all I am not burying my head in the sand, 2nd you can post whatever you want, but I am entitled to disagree with it, if you were being fair that particular incident none of the Hibs players knew what was going on! they didn't even realise it was a free kick, hence the controversy surrounding the goal, also Hibs had 4 defenders in the box when the cross came in from a wide position and none of the Hibs defenders made a challenge. That is my take on their equaliser. Trial by BBC pick one negative thing a Rangers player does and highlights it, I disagree with that just like I disagree with your match summary in this case.

Was he taking on Separate Entity FC all on his own? you should apply for a job with BBC Scotland!.

RANGERS have players out on-loan in Scotland, England and beyond. Here’s our review of how those who played performed over the weekend… https://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/loan-review-30-09/

Alfredo Morelos' performance was further evidence Rangers could be rewarded with silverware and transfer gold Morelos ran Aberdeen ragged and bagged his 13th goal of the season in Saturday's 5-0 rout. By Gary Ralston The rap sheet was lengthy and the rehab is still ongoing. Alfredo Morelos imprisoned much of his talent last season with his own petulant behaviour and lack of professionalism. His performance against Aberdeen offered further evidence of a Rangers repentance that might yet see the club rewarded with silverware - and end of season transfer gold. No ifs, buts or maybes. At the peak of his game, no striker in Scottish football can match the armoury of the fiery Colombian, who plays with a scowl on his face and joy in his heart. Steven Davis and Greg Stewart drew the bulk of favourable comments against an Aberdeen side that put on a display, the opinion on which swayed between absolutely outplayed to utterly anonymous. Didn’t turn up? Mentally, they looked as if they were still in the queue for Starbucks at Dunblane as the Light Blues handed Derek McInnes his heaviest defeat in more than six years as Dons gaffer. McInnes was pilloried by his own Pittodrie punters after this humbling, but perspective is required for a manager who is trading with Slater’s against Steven Gerrard’s Saville Row. Rangers were already four goals to the good when Sheyi Ojo was removed after an hour and replaced from the bench by Jermain Defoe to join Morelos in terrorising the Dons defence. Mikey Devlin and Co could have been forgiven for borrowing a line from Glasgow theatrical folklore, when Bernie Winters was joined on stage at the Empire by brother Mike and a disgusted audience member cried out, “Aw naw, there’s two of them.” Morelos scored two goals against Aberdeen in five matches last season, missed the Betfred Cup semi-final meeting as a result of his own indiscipline, picked up four yellow cards and three reds, one of which was later rescinded. At this stage last season he had already been dismissed twice, been cautioned six times and scored eight goals in 17 appearances. Now? After the same number of games Morelos has netted 13 times and been booked only three times. His movement against the Dons was a joy to watch as he drew Devlin and Zak Vyner into the debate central defenders detest most - to stay or go. For the most part they kept their feet planted on the 18 yard line, but it only created a midfield overload in which Rangers played through the Dons and created time and pockets of space to pick passes into the box. On the occasions they followed him deep it allowed Stewart, Scott Arfield and Ojo to prosper in behind from the dainty feet of Davis, a wonderful technician whose guile and creativity in that area wreaked havoc. Morelos is playing with a ravenous appetite - he dropped deep, skipped past Greg Leigh and drew Vyner into the clumsy challenge that allowed James Tavernier to score the opener from the spot after 20 minutes. He popped up on the right wing to feed Tavernier for the cross that led to Stewart’s second three minutes before the break, but it was his third that proved the pick of the bunch. He drifted between midfield and attack, knocked the ball to Davis and when the midfielder picked out Borna Barisic, Morelos judged his back post run to perfection, darting behind the defence to nod a delightful cross into the net from six yards. Defoe added a fifth after another Tavernier spot kick, awarded when Leigh was caught wrong side of Barisic and wrestled the full-back to the ground, compounding an already wretched afternoon. Even McInnes was moved to comment: “We are well-versed in how Morelos wants to play but when he does it as well as he did today, it is difficult to stop. He led the line brilliantly. The quality of movement is something he is very good at.” Gerrard added: “I am not going to take any credit for Alfredo’s performance. He is the one who is dropping into the interesting areas trying to drag the Aberdeen defenders around the pitch. “He was on the left, on the right, he scored a header. He was focussed on his performance and nothing else.” Rangers lost twice against Aberdeen at Ibrox in three fixtures last season, including a ruinous loss in the Scottish Cup, but their energy and movement, orchestrated by Davis, suggests they have learned hard and fast as they bid to mount a credible title challenge. Aberdeen, weakened by injuries, looked a shadow of the well organised side who have put in some significant performances against the big two in recent seasons. They were pulled all over the place and the failure of their midfield to impact on the match left Sam Cosgrove and isolated and frustrated figure in attack. Even their set piece threat failed to materialise and Allan McGregor did not have a single shot to save, with Connor McLennan’s low drive outside the post from 25 yards in the second half their only moment of encouragement. Rangers could have scored more, but still moved closer to Celtic at the top of the table following that 1-1 draw at Easter Road - and the Light Blues are now back to within a goal of their arch rivals. They head to Switzerland this week for Europa League duty in bullish spirits as Gerrard bids for the victory that will take them a huge step closer to the knockout stages just two matches in. With Zen Dog Alfredo leading the line, you wouldn’t put it past them to scale new heights in the shadow of the Alps. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alfredo-morelos-performance-further-evidence-20329211

Paedo kitman Jim McCafferty continued career in football after abuse claims The Daily Record can reveal that McCafferty was able to work with Hibernian and Falkirk after he was sacked by Celtic Boys Club for a series of abuse claims during the 90s. Paedophile kitman Jim McCafferty was reported to police and the SFA over abuse claims in the 90s but was able to continue his career in Scottish football, the Daily Record can reveal. McCafferty was sacked by Celtic FC when an angry parent confronted him in 1996 over an allegation of sexual assault. The police were called in to investigate but he wasn’t prosecuted and continued to work in Scottish football following a break in Ireland. McCafferty was finally snared after the Record extracted a full confession from him. Earlier this year, he was jailed for abusing young footballers. The pervert, now 73, was a coach and kitman for the Celtic youth team. He also worked for Celtic Boys Club. He headed to Ireland for “family reasons” after being sacked by Celtic. But he was later able to slip back into Scotland and resume his career in football with Hibernian and Falkirk. He later carried out repeated sexual abuse of a boy in Northern Ireland, who was 13 at the time. Police Scotland confirmed that they investigated abuse claims against McCafferty in the 90s but he was never prosecuted. A spokeswoman said: “Inquiries were carried out in the 90s into allegations made at that time. “No charges were brought.” One of his victims last night demanded to know why McCafferty wasn’t prosecuted in the 90s and how he was able to resume his career in youth football. The victim said: “This is disgusting. To think it was known he was a paedophile and it did not seem to affect his career is shattering to me. “If I had known in 1996 that there were other victims, I would have come forward at that point. “Instead, I lived with that abuse for another 20 years. Previously, it was thought McCafferty left Celtic because abuse claims relating to a time before he joined the club began to emerge. But the Record understands he was sacked by Celtic and reported to the police and the SFA in 1996 as a result of the intervention of an irate parent at a club social event he had attended. The then Celtic supremo Fergus McCann sacked McCafferty. It is not known who reported him to police. A source said: “It is clear that McCafferty was outed by a parent at a social event and that was why he disappeared from Celtic. “He was confronted by an angry parent. But somehow McCafferty simply left the country, saying he had a family issue in Ireland. “Then, a wee while later, he’s back in Scotland and he’s back working as a football coach. How could that have been allowed to happen? “At the very least, any disclosure process should have identified him as a risk to young boys. And he should have been properly investigated by both the police and the SFA . “But instead, this vile predator was allowed to continue working in Scottish football as if he was a normal person. It beggars belief.” The victim added: “It is absolutely sickening. I look on it as another 20 years of my life wasted. I’ve carried this, thinking that I was the only person who was abused. “If that had come out in 1996, I wouldn’t have hesitated in coming forward about my abuse. That’s the impact this has. “There’s not one person in the world I spoke to about the abuse until that day I phoned the Daily Record . “My own family didn’t even know. Even then, it was because of what I saw with the abuse in football emerging in England. “I thought, ‘My god, finally I’m going to speak to someone about this’.” The victim’s testimony in 2016 led the Record to track down McCafferty in Northern Ireland. The SFA is conducting an independent review of sexual abuse in Scottish football. Investigations are being carried out by a former detective superintendent and a Children 1st specialist. McCafferty admitted his years of abuse when we confronted him in 2016. He was convicted of the offences in Northern Ireland, carried out when he was aged 66 to 68. At the High Court in Edinburgh in May this year, he admitted 12 charges related to child sex abuse against 10 teenage boys between 1972 and 1996. He was sentenced to six years and nine months in prison to add to the three years and nine months jail term he was given in Northern Ireland. Most of McCafferty’s victims played for youth teams he ran in North Lanarkshire. Four played for Celtic Boys Club and Celtic youth team. They were aged between 14 and 17. Some victims developed mental health problems as a result of the abuse. Judge Lord Beckett said McCafferty was “physically intimidating” and used his “overpowering” nature to achieve his “depraved objectives” of abusing young boys. He added: “You were adept at identifying the circumstances of different boys so that you could manipulate them and, in some cases, their parents in a variety of ways. “All of this was done to facilitate your sexual abuse of children.” McCafferty had previously said he did not know the true number of boys he abused. He was the fourth man connected to either Celtic or Celtic Boys’ Club to be found guilty of historical child sex abuse. Last November, Boys’ Club founder Jim Torbett, 71, was jailed for six years for sexually abusing three boys over eight years. Earlier this year, Boys’ Club former chairman, Gerald King, 66, was given a three-year probation order for sexually abusing four boys and a girl in the 80s. And in February, Frank Cairney, 84, a former manager of the Boys’ Club, was jailed for four years after being convicted of nine charges of sexually abusing young footballers. No one at the SFA was available for comment. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/paedo-kitman-jim-mccafferty-continued-20331939?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar
