Celtic fans are beginning to catch on to what’s happening with Willie Collum in recent times.

That’s because it’s becoming blatantly obvious. It’s becoming undeniable. It’s literally every single game now that he is providing the Ibrox side a helping hand.

Their club and their supporters will continue to say that Collum is against them, but their cover story simply doesn’t wash, Celtic fans can see what’s going on here.

He helps them open the scoring by giving a penalty that never was, for a handball where the ball skimmed off Goldson and hit the St Johnstone player’s wrist as it lay by his side in a totally natural position.

As St Johnstone began to get back into the game, he sends off Nicky Clark for a follow through on Ryan Jack, bearing in mind that Clark clearly won the ball and it was his momentum that took him into Jack, yet, despite the fact he clearly won the ball, Collum sent him off.

Then in what appeared to be a revenge attack moments later, (as if Jack needs an excuse) he went in studs up on a St Johnstone players ankle, nowhere near the ball, yet Collum only deemed this a yellow.

Even VAR said it was a red and asked Collum to take a second look, and even after seeing the horrific challenge back, Collum refused to take the advice of the VAR official and upgrade the card to a red one.

St Johnstone are still in the game and should have scored towards the end of the first half to make it 1-1.

Another gift incoming 2nd half is perhaps on the cards if this score line remains the same.
