At one point on Wednesday evening Rangers were top of the league on goal difference, by the end of the night they were two points behind Old Firm rivals Celtic after losing their grip on the game and a two goal lead against Aberdeen at Pittodrie.

Things could’ve been different if, at 2-2, referee John Beaton had awarded Alfredo Morelos and Rangers a penalty kick instead of a free-kick on the edge of the box, the whistler later apologising to Steven Gerrard for getting the decision wrong.

Beaton has also come under pressure for allowing Sam Cosgrove of Aberdeen to stay on the pitch for the full 90 minutes, the Dons centre forward clattered Steven Davis in the first minute which should’ve been at least a yellow card but then, bizarrely, allowed the forward to make another four fouls before eventually booking him. Cosgrove managed to reach double figures in fouls for the night despite being warned by Beaton on several occasions, the very definition of persistent fouling.

What was the worst decision from John Beaton?

Cosgrove not being sent off.

Awarding free-kick instead of penalty.

Rangers dropping two points was of their own volition, a lack of composure and concentration in defence but Beaton’s display only made things worse for fans who took to twitter in disgust:

It’s safe to say John Beaton won’t be popular amongst the Gers faithful after his display and contribution towards Rangers dropping points for just the third time this season, apparently these things even themselves out over the course of the season though…
