Rangers fans didn’t enjoy BBC Scotland highlighting one specific part of the recent Scottish Youth Cup final win against Celtic.
Footage showed Kai Kennedy suffering an injury and being dragged off the pitch by young Hoops defender Liam Morrison, only to smartly shuffle back on in an attempt to delay the game.
Why the broadcaster deemed to necessary to pick up on such a trivial piece of play in an otherwise thrilling and joyous youth final is beyond me.
The young Gers won the match 3-2, the first time we’ve won the trophy for five years, after a brilliant 90 minutes full of skill and exciting potential talents.
Is it really necessary to eke out every single bit of potential controversy out of a match, especially at a lower age level?
Rangers supporters haven’t taken kindly to it, believing that BBC Scotland have badly got their judgement wrong on this one.
These fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts…

Who writes this tripe? Honestly beggars belief the standard of journalistic talent in Scotland.

Good plan…let’s put something on twitter to ensure that a young player gets lots of abuse. What a way to support young Scottish talent.
