It was a disgrace that Murty called it a 'coming together' and refused to back Ryan's claims that Kipre had intent in that brutal act of thuggery upon him.
No wonder our players are seen as fair game for media and hammer throwers alike
Jack’s manager at the time, Graeme Murty, absolved Kipre of any blame, insisting there had been “no intent” in the challenge - comments which angered Rangers fans who felt it had been a “shocking” challenge.
Speaking after the match, the former Gers manager said: “I think Ryan slides in to make a pass and the guy goes to block it, I didn’t think he actually stamped and pushed down.
“I didn’t feel he put any pressure through the challenge. It was a coming together that is a nasty one and it is sore but in regard of intent I am not sure there was any there.”
But Jack insists he hasn’t changed his mind, stating: “If I got asked at the time it would have been the same, I thought it was a shocking tackle.”
