As long as I can remember, from a purely Aberdeen point of view, it's been fairly even. Anyone remember Derek Whyte's sending off back in about 2000 for example?
I always think Rangers have more of an influence at a higher level, i.e. leaning on the SFA/SPL, but Celtic just about match them for ridiculous refereeing decisions. And not just for big, memorable ones, but every single minor call going their way, particularly at Parkhead.
Maybe there is a slight Rangers bias overall, but it's not so significant that Celtic shouldn't stop their pitiful whining.
