From McCurry -

"In the 71st minute Dundee United were in possession of the ball and Danny Swanson shot towards the Rangers goal from approximately 30-35 yards. The ball appeared to me to be deflected off a Rangers player and entered the goal

"As I turned to award a goal to Dundee United it was brought to my attention that the stand-side assistant referee had his flag raised signalling that an offside infringement had occurred. I also noticed that a Dundee United player required medical treatment.

I remember another one of these he did after a Rangers game.

" In the 12th Minute, I had to chalk off the Hibernian goal as I realised that I had not whistled for the foul to take place seven minutes earlier. I thought it was fair to have a drop ball in Hibernians six yard box in this case."

"In the 98th minute , I did not rule Ranger's winner offside as the linesman said that Boyd was not interfereing with play when the ball came to him , three yards from goal. I then had to send off the Hibs Skipper Jones for arguing this point. I told him that I also did not think the handball from Novo that led to Boyds goal was deliberate , It was just luck it deflected straight to Boyd".
