This apology is related to a  tweet from same journalist earlier today where he informed his followers that his 'source close to the Chinese club' had denied a bid had been made as well as some claptrap about foreign player limits (despite Renhe signing an Argentinian player yesterday evening).

 

In the day where BBC Scotland posted video footage of the Rangers stonewall penalty last night in which all three of their match commentators decided it was harsh this is quite something.  Interestingly their match reporter last night (Martin Dowden who also helps produce much of their sporting output) suggest Holt tripped over the ball.

 

Good to see Rangers challenge this nonsense and once again the Scottish football media are seen for the liars they are.

Sir, The BBC apologising to Rangers is like a dog walking upon its hind legs, it is not done well, but it is surprising to see it done at all.

 

(With my apologies to the Sage of Lichfield.)

Rangers actually pulling BBC Scotland up, good on them about time.

I guess this maybe also pours a touch of cold water on the idea of a reconciliation with the BBC given the rumoured visit by King last week.

Meanwhile another breaking headline, ''Celtic puppet cuts strings and resigns'' Regan has gone.

It is very hard to conclude he doesn't have anti-Rangers sentiment when he was willing to believe the conspiracy theories peddled by Celtic bloggers over other journalists and Rangers themselves and put his reputation on the line without first doing all he could to ascertain the facts. Incredible.

 

Looking forward to the apologies flooding in now from said bloggers.

I never knew that. How anyone can deny that was a penalty, never mind 3 people, is baffling. Well it isn’t baffling if they are openly lying. That seems to be a common pattern at the BBC Scotland HQ.

Had the misfortune to be beside Idessane pitchside in Podgorica when we played Zeta, he interviewed Walter Smith and Barry Ferguson. He was wearing and I kid you not an official BBC embroidered polo shirt emblazoned with Celtic UEFA Cup Final in Seville. Walter Smith did register his disgust but the bold Kheredine claimed he'd nothing else to wear and just laughed.
