Rangers secured a spot in the Scottish Cup Final after a decisive 2-0 victory over Hearts, setting up a highly anticipated showdown with Celtic.
A contentious moment from the semi-final involved Rangers’ forward, Fabio Silva, who was in a prime position to score but inexplicably chose to dive, despite no defenders being close enough to challenge him.
This incident echoes the previous display from the Portugese player during the last Glasgow Derby at Ibrox, which ended in a 3-3 draw, where Silva’s conduct was widely criticised, particularly by former Celtic player and pundit Chris Sutton.
Sutton took to social media to comment on Silva’s actions at Hampden Park.
He took aim at the forward, posting on X:
People who say Silva dived here are biased… that’s a penalty 👇👇 https://t.co/4qQshnWLpG

With two Glasgow Derbies left before the end of the season, Celtic fans will be hoping that they won’t see any more of Silva’s antics and that his manager and teammates can attempt to talk some sense into him.
