A Rangers scarf thrown on to the top of Michael Beale’s technical area. Aberdeen supporters indulging in the expletive-replete “so easy” chant. A goal haul at Ibrox the Pittodrie men have not enjoyed since 1997. All were snapshots of a 3-1 defeat for Beale’s side that felt akin to a managerial stoning.
Brooks Koepka accused Jon Rahm of “acting like a child” here at the first day of the Ryder Cup as Europe took a record-equalling 6½-1½ lead with the US failing even to win a single match.
