We’re told to take a smirking official with a pinch of salt. Can you imagine if it was the other way around?
The fourth official at the League cup semi final between Hearts and theRangers caused a stir yesterday afternoon with his body language after the latest Ibrox club’s second goal.
David Dickinson, who’s given some controversial calls against ourselves in the past smirked and nodded in approval towards theRangers boss Philippe Clement.

Scottish referee David Dickinson was on VAR the evening of the Jota goal.
Suspicions were raised when he wouldn’t forward a pic.
When he eventually did, it was ridiculous.Subsequently transpired that a ‘camera malfunctioned’ on Dickinson’s watch…

Yes that really happened. In what other country would that be deemed as acceptable? None. That’s the answer. The usual suspects on social media are telling us to shake it off and that we’re paranoid, the usual guff.
But what if it was the other way around? Picture this, Kevin Clancy or Willie Collum turn and smirk at Brendan Rodgers after a Celtic goal, would that be taken with a pinch of salt and laughed off? We know the answer to that one. All hell would break loose. So why should we have to put up with it?
David Dickinson this is the same guy who gave a penalty against bernabei whose arm was in ah natural position for jumping for ah header.
In the same gemme he said this wasnt ah foul. https://t.co/nxLDxzdnxl pic.twitter.com/7fp3khc2v8— Terry O'Neill (@terryoneill67) November 5, 2023
It just further fuels the fire of the so called ‘conspiracy theorists’ not that there is any conspiracy of course as there’s more than enough proof to suggest wrong doing.
There been an ever growing trend of dubious decisions going in the favour of one club. It’s plain to see. Acts like this further prove that something isn’t right. As usual it will be all laughed off. But it certainly ain’t no laughing matter.

Rangers leading the way in Europe on penalty differential.
Last season was good as they were the only club in the top 20 leagues in Europe not to concede a league penalty.‘The worst side in Champions League history with the best penalty differential in European football’ 👊 https://t.co/BTxAeSrAJ7

Part of the problem was that in the same game, there was a camera angle showing the Motherwell player ONSIDE for their goal. ok.
So why did Dickinson show the angle for Celtic up the other end of the park from the same camera?‘Camera malfunction’ https://t.co/zeWb7KxP3m pic.twitter.com/TdGrTMLqkx

Just an Ordinary Bhoy
Matt Corr’s new book Majic, Stan and the King of Japan is out now and Neil Lennon, the Celtic captain that season, has written the foreword for us.
You can get a signed copy of the hardback version direct from Celtic Star Books by clicking on the image below. It’s also available an an e-book via Amazon Kindle and please note that all colour photographs that appear in the beautifully presented printed hardback book are also available in the Kindle version of Majic, Stan and the King of Japan…
Knew what this scumbag was all about from the very first game he was involved with against ourselves.
Coincidence, my hole.
Just another to join the line of cheats, where clearly everyone knows where there preferences are, within their decision making?
This is the horrible face of Scottish football, with so many prepared to stand beside such an ugly mug also.
This is the same ref pictured at an orange walk before he started refereeing in the top flight of scottish football. I spotted it on a rangers fb page where some fans couldn’t wait to welcome their “brother.” Others were furious that that it had been posted and told to take it down. I wish I had screenshot the post. Rotten to the core!
This really has gone far enough now , VAR ? Video assisted ranger ! ,in any other league this guy would be resigning this morning!
Sick of being taken for a ride by these cheating barstewards , we pay good money etc to see our team , but we are being short changed by the likes of Dickinson , Beaton , Walsh etc etc etc! And for decades gone by it’s been the same , but not as blatant , now it’s on millions of screens worldwide and we all know what the underlying problem is , STAMP IT OUT CELTIC – GET ON TO THEM PUBLICLY !
Maybe the Green Brigade can do something in the stands , as our board seem to be quiet on all matters……..
Maybe a huge banner calling it out? IN BIG FAKKEN LETTERS
That’s the problem! We keep paying good money and our cowardly board do nothing. Well not me, gave up season ticket 2 years ago. Yeah! Yeah! I know someone else took it. Bawless the whole board.
