The main reasons this such an issue is
Rangers are unhappy that Celtic will be awarded the title
Hearts would be relegated
If Rangers were top they would be no complaint from them and the media would print pages on how fair it would
If Hearts/Accies roles were reversed then Budge would be explaining how it is the only correct decision at an extraordinary time
If ICT were top the Funsters would be happy to accept the decision
It is true Rangers were unhappy about United coming up it shows the small, childish mentaluty
