Steven Gerrard got it in the neck following Rangers’ slip at Hamilton.
The runaway league leaders were pegged back at the very end of the game by Accies.
However, it was Gerrard’s actions at the beginning which upset some of the fans with key men left out.
John Bruce emailed to say: “Gerrard opted to rest several of his big stars from the starting team, which ultimately backfired.
“It appears that Gerrard may have had one eye on the upcoming game with Royal Antwerp.
“However, it’s unlikely that he will make the same choice again as Rangers fans will want the strongest team on the park from the start of every game until the league is wrapped up.”
Douglas Allison said: “When Celtic in the past were going for the league, they would run over teams at the lower end of the table, but Rangers just stick the ball about with no conviction thinking we are at the top it will be okay.”
Lee Griffiths, Connahs Quay, said: “Gerrard says he knows what it means to Rangers fans to win the league. If so, why rest your best players. That gives out a poor message to the rest of the team.
“You cannot change your mindset or tempo when you suddenly realise you are in a game. Rangers fans just want his best eleven out on the park until the 55th title is in the bag nothing else matters to us.”
George Wilson, West Sussex, said: “Rangers were very poor and deserved nothing against Hamilton. It was refreshing to hear Gerrard be honest enough to say just that.
“Rangers were rubbish and still stayed unbeaten and 21 points ahead. It will serve as a reminder they still have to see the season out and win the league. It’s just a matter of time.”
Celtic fan Alan Ronald, Toryglen, wasn’t thrilled despite his side’s 2-1 win over Motherwell and said: “It’s the strangest season.
“We were flying against Motherwell, yet the moment they lost a goal, they fell apart. It could have led to a draw. Confidence is so fragile, it’s unreal. That has to be down to the manager.”
The SFA disciplinary process has been the centre of attention recently. Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, said: “The horror tackles you see are career threatening and should be dealt with more severely than a two-match ban.
“The only way to stamp it out is an automatic seven-game suspension and, if repeated, a reduction of points.”
Kevin Lord, Drylaw, added: “All these retrospective punishments that are dished out do nothing to compensate the offended-against teams. Unless we bring in VAR, which won’t happen, we need to find some way of making the punishment pay for the offence.”
George Fairgrieve sent an email about the Hearts manager, who went on the offensive following his team’s 1-0 Friday night triumph at Ayr.
He said: “What a strange man Robbie Neilson is. He stated that BBC Scotland’s coverage of the Ayr v Hearts game was only selected because BBC expected Hearts to lose. Well, I’ve heard some conspiracy theories in my time, but this one takes the biscuit. Grow up Robbie.”
Kenny Goff got in touch to suggest a plan to get punters back into stadiums as he said: “The best way of getting fans back into grounds is by a vaccine card. You must show you have been vaccinated twice and show this with other ID like your passport which has your name and photo on it. If you don’t have a vaccine card, you do not get in. Simple as that.”
