    Eric never criticised smith for the tackle at all.

    Davie Wilson moved to left back after Eric's injury, Scotland proceeded with 10 men to give England a leathering and a master class 2-1, those indeed were the days when Scotland like The Rangers, feared no one !

    FORMER official Derek Crothers has accused the SFA of nepotism, bullying and cronyism.
    Crothers decided to hang up his whistle after 13 years in the game at the end of last season.

    And he has blasted the governing body as he hit out at Andrew Dallas’ breakthrough to top-flight matches.
    He told the Daily Mail: “Scottish refereeing is in crisis. The key issue is that guys are not getting to the top level on merit.

    “The FIFA-level referees in Scotland have had a very bad season.
    “The Lanarkshire Referees Association I am a member of used to feel like being part of a family. We were there to support each other. It’s not like that now.

    “If referees don’t attend training they don’t get games. There are bullying tactics employed.
    “Guys used to go to training because it was good camaraderie and a chance to discuss your game at the weekend.

    Getting guys to go to training now is all about bullying. If you don’t come, you don’t get a game next weekend.
    “They can’t do that. Referees have to want to be involved of their own free will.
    “Hugh Dallas is now second in command with the UEFA referees.
    “If the SFA put their nominations to UEFA, it’s Hugh Dallas who is in a position to influence those positions.

    And it’s no coincidence that John Beaton, Frank Connor and Alan Mulvanny are all friends of Andrew Dallas. And all four are FIFA officials.
    “In my opinion, they have not been appointed to that level through ability.
    “If you position yourself with the right person you have a good chance of making it in Scottish refereeing.”

    The SFA, however, refuted Crothers’ claims and insisted referees are selected purely on merit.
    They said: “Referee performances are reviewed on an ongoing basis and they will move up and down the categories accordingly.
    “Indeed, over the last five years there has been a 47-per-cent turnover in Category One officials.
    “All of our match officials are graded and selected purely on their ability through a robust and defined process, governed by the Referee committee.”
    Crothers revealed he has received positive messages since quitting the game and insists he isn’t just disgruntled at being snubbed for promotion.

    He added: “If I was simply a disgruntled ex-referee I’d have said all this a lot sooner.
    “I resigned in May and I’d have said all this in June, July or August. The feedback I got from my fellow referees was positive.
    “Willie Collum and Craig Thomson were both encouraging to me.
    “I know other guys who were involved for 20 and 30 years who are walking away now.
    “And, in my opinion, it’s down to bully-boy tactics.

    If I was going to make it in refereeing, I would want to do it via ability and ability alone. I don’t want to make it through a friendship of convenience or scratching the right backs.
    “For one or two of these guys, being attached to the right person is akin to a meal ticket.”

    No point in making sure Morelos avoids suspension if Rangers don’t make it to the semi-final. 
    We play the team most likely to get us through. That includes Morelos.

    typical, classless for any Rangers exec to bring the fhilth into our affairs.
    be better if he challenged the fhilth’s paedo covering up, and also defended our fans instead of throwing us under the bus.
