    Gary Morris and Will Reid are back to break down all the highlights from Rangers 3-1 win at Easter Road where James Tavernier stepped up to mark his 400th Rangers appearance with another wonderful free kick goal. Ianis Hagi marked his return from injury hell with an emotional first goal in 16 months, and Todd Cantwell continued his excellent recent form with another goal in front of the travelling Rangers support. Will was also in attendance at Ibrox today for the 4th Official as the Womens Premier League season ended in a tense climax. In the end, Lauren Davidson's 92nd minute winner was enough to see Glasgow City crowned champions for the 16th time, snatching the title away from Celtic, and consigning Rangers to 3rd place in the league, and out of the European places for next season. Again it was a lack of quality in the final third that was Rangers ladies undoing, but Malky Thomson's side at least have a chance to make some amends with an Old Firm Scottish Cup Final on the horizon at Hampden next weekend.

    Gary Morris is joined by Martin Cassidy, CEO of Ref Support UK to discuss recent controversies involving match officials in Scotland and in the Premier League. They speak about the contentious decisions of Kevin Clancy at the weekend, and whether or not Scottish refs would benefit from going professional to improve their level of performance. Martin also speaks about the recent trend of match official confrontational behaviour - with the Mitrovic, Robertson and Fernandes incidents, and whether or not officials should have open mics as they do in rugby, or at least a platform to explain their decisions. Finally, Martin also discusses accountability for the press and pundits, and whether or not programmes such as Sky Sports' Ref Watch actually hinder refereeing standards rather than aid them. A very interesting and frank discussion, and we'd love to hear your thoughts. Martin has offered to come back onto T4O later in the year to follow up on this show.
