After every win, anything else sounds sour grapes.
I wouldn't say Clancy was running scared last DecemberThe time has passed.
The refs are running scared to give decisions that could be seen to be to our benefit due to the impending backlash if they should actually get one wrong, they err on the side off less critical caution.
The crowd today probably reflects the fans feelings of being cheated. The club couldn't care less.

That was an open goal for our Board.Dec 29th 2019 would have been a good starting place

What does calling them out achieve? Will it change anything? No it won’t. Behind the scenes we need to address it but I would love someone to tell me what a statement would achieve.
A statement, in itself, would achieve nothing, but here is what the Club need to do, and it ain't difficult.
1. Call a Media Conference
2. Have a Rangers director warmly welcome the attendees, and promise them that this will be one of the most informative and participative ones they have ever attended. Have, in attendance, a retired referee, from another country, whose integrity can not be questioned, sitting at the top table.
3. Run a video of (say) 20 of the "honest mistakes" which have all been to our detriment.
4. Then re-run them, pausing at the end of each one, inviting any attendees to agree with the referee, and explain why.
5. The silence will be deafening.
6. Invite the guest ref's analysis.
7. Then total the points this has cost us this season.
8. Then make the most powerful, impassioned plea for them all to question just what sort of regime and competition is being run in Scotland, concluding that "for the future of the game, those responsible need to be removed, the cheating has to stop, and a level playing field introduced for the benefit of all clubs, and the reputation of our game internationally."
Not difficult, is it?
