The Scotland star insists, however, they should NOT be the fall guys for any violence which spills on to the street after Old Firm derbies. Soccer bosses, top cops and First Minister Alex Salmond have all put the boot into Glasgow's big two following the shameful scenes at Parkhead on Wednesday. A total of 187 arrests were made in Strathclyde on the night, but McCulloch said: "I think it's unfair to blame the players for that. "Players have to take responsibility to act professionally but once you get into that atmosphere it's hard to stay calm." The Gers midfielder, who is out for the season following knee surgery, added: "I watched the game on television and I think a lot of people have blown out of proportion what went on. After the game there was an argument. That's it - nobody's thrown a punch. It's easy in the heat of the moment to do something silly, but I don't think anyone did anything really out of order."
