Rangers say they “firmly deny any breach of Scottish FA rules” after the club’s former defender, John Brown, called a refereeing decision “corrupt” on Rangers TV.
The SFA has confirmed to BBC Scotland that a notice of complaint has been issued to the Scottish Premiership runners-up regarding the incident on 17 May.
In the final match of Rangers’ league season, they felt they should have been awarded a goal when Nicolas Raskin appeared to bundle the ball over the line.
Referee Nick Walsh and his on-field officials thought the ball had been kept out by Hibernian defender Rocky Bushiri and VAR Andrew Dallas ruled that there was no camera angle that proved Raskin’s effort had gone in.
Hibs equalised through Kieron Bowie moments later, with the match finishing 2-2.
Brown said on the club’s in-house TV channel: “I would say it is corrupt.”
Commentator Tom Miller replied: “Well, I’m not sure we can actually say that.” However, Brown added: “Well, I am saying it.”
The Glasgow club say they are “surprised” by the charge over Brown’s comments and will “continue to challenge any action we consider to be unfair or disproportionate”.
The SFA rule states: “A club or recognised football body which publishes, distributes, issues, sells or authorises a third party to publish, distribute, issue or sell a match programme or any other publication or audio/visual material of any description in any media now existing or hereinafter invented, including but not limited to the Internet, social networking or micro-blogging sites, shall ensure that any such publications or audio/visual material does not contain any criticism of any match official calculated to indicate bias or incompetence on the part of such match official or to impinge upon his character.”
Rangers note that four out of five members of the SFA’s Key Match Incident Panel deemed the decision to be incorrect, adding that they have “serious concerns about the Scottish FA’s selective enforcement and inconsistency”.
“That finding helps explain the nature of a spontaneous emotional comment, delivered during a highly charged moment and immediately challenged live on air,” Rangers add.
“We have highlighted multiple examples of similar or stronger remarks made elsewhere in Scottish football that have led to no charges or sanctions.
Coronation Street’s Stephanie Davis has split with her boyfriend Joseph McKalory ahead of Father’s Day. The couple welcomed their son, Samuel, into the world in January after getting together in 2022.
However, today, Steph made no mention of Joseph as she shared a photo of her own father with a heartfelt caption, thanking him for helping with her two sons Caben and Samuel, adding “there aren’t many men like you.” Responding to her post, one fan asked: “Where’s Joe?” while another said: “I think they have split up” while another said: “I think so too as they both had each others name on their bio’s with a heart which they don’t anymore. It’s such a shame if they have as they were a gorgeous little family!”
Joe and Stephanie became parents to their son, Samuel, in January, as Joe penned the caption of an Instagram post, sharing a snap of his baby son, which read: “Welcome to the world my beautiful baby boy Samuel McKalroy.
“Named after your uncle the one and only who will always weigh heavy on my heart I wish so much that he could’ve met you and cherished you as much as I do.
“It has been a traumatic experience but you are finally here in our arms. I never thought I could possibly love your mummy anymore than I already do but this is just so special and an unconditional love I cannot explain with words.
“I love you more than you will ever know”.
Stephanie, who shares seven-year-old son Caben with ex and former CBB star Jeremy McConnell, responded to the post: “Stephanie responded to the post: ‘Sobbing reading this my heart. I love you more than anything in this world. I couldn’t love you more I’m so blessed to have you as a daddy to our boys xx. You carried me though that, it was so tough. I love you more than you will ever know xxxxxxxx’.”
Somewhere Over The Rainbow star, Stephanie, has endured her fair share of heartache over the years. In 2022, she revealed she had suffered a devasting miscarriage at three months, heartbreakingly sharing she woke up one morning and ‘didn’t feel pregnant anymore’.
The Mirror has contacted Stephanie’s reps for comment.
