Michael Stewart has weighed in on Rangers' decision to send a letter to the SFA, claiming the club's "level of entitlement is incredible".

The Ibrox club asked for answers from the Scottish football governing body after they were denied an opening goal against Celtic at the weekend.

Rangers manager Michael Beale and the club felt they were wrongly denied a goal and they also questioned whether Celtic winger Jota handled before the Premiership leaders scored their second goal in a 3-2 win which leaves them firmly on course to retain the title.

The SFA have since replied with an explanation and Rangers say they are "astonished" by the clarification.

Responding to the story on Twitter, pundit Stewart took aim at Rangers as he alluded to official errors during a clash vs St Johnstone at Ibrox back in January.

He said: "Rangers level of entitlement is incredible. Writing letters wanting explanations and apologies for one perceived mistake.

"I must have missed the numerous other clubs letters this season. St Johnstone must surely have done it after their game at Ibrox…"

In the game that Stewart is alluding to, Saints striker Nicky Clark was sent off before the card was later downgraded to a yellow following an appeal.

Police have been called in after referee Kevin Clancy received “threatening and abusive” messages in the wake of Saturday’s clash between Celtic and Rangers.

The SFA revealed on Monday that it had “referred a significant volume of threatening and abusive emails to Police Scotland after personal and professional contact details” of Clancy were published online following the game.

In response, a Rangers spokesperson said: “Firstly, Rangers condemns in the strongest terms any abuse of match officials. We are all passionate about our game but targeted, personal abuse of referees cannot be tolerated.

“The club can confirm the Scottish FA has responded with regards to the disallowed Alfredo Morelos goal, with the response claiming the correct decision was taken.

"The club is astonished by this, especially given most observers, including former referees and former players, could see no issue with the goal standing.

“This comes following a weekend in England where PGMOL have offered an apology to Brighton and Hove Albion for the non-award of a penalty in their match with Tottenham Hotspur, alongside a pledge to review the incident.

“While an apology does not alter the outcome of a match, such responsibility, and openness would be welcome in Scotland.”
