Rangers demand SFA release VAR audio from Celtic penalty snub as club….
Rangers, who were refused a penalty at Celtic Park, have demanded that the SFA make the VAR audio from the match public.
Before the half, Alistair Johnston and Rangers striker Abdallah Sima got into a struggle inside the area, and Johnston seemed to put the ball out of play with his hand. While Willie Collum’s VAR room supported the official and originally seemed to reject charges of a handball, referee Nick Walsh did not point to the spot. Pundits Chris Boyd, Neil Lennon, and James McFadden would argue on Sky during the halftime break that the Celtic star ought to have been sent off for a handball.
After the ball strikes Alistair Johnston of Celtic, Rangers want a penalty.
During a pause in play, pundit Ian Crocker tried to set the record straight, stating that he had now been informed that the key talking point—not penalising the home team—was due to a possible offside in the build-up. Rangers have now requested clarification, and the recording has been made public.
The broadcaster was “deeply unhappy and confused” about the circumstances, they continue. According to a statement, Rangers have requested that the SFA provide the club with access to the VAR audio so they can comprehend why Celtic’s Alistair Johnston was not given a penalty after clearly handballing the ball.
“The decision was not shared with our squad or made public at the time, so the club is eager to learn the reasoning behind it. We also recognize that Sky, the league’s official broadcaster, is incredibly dissatisfied and perplexed by the circumstances.
“Their panel decided at halftime that Rangers ought to have received a penalty kick even though they were not aware of an offside check. Once more, this was only mentioned in the second part. Rangers continue to support VAR, but for it to be effective in Scotland, there needs to be a great deal more openness.
Rangers, in the opinion of former SFA referee Steve Conroy, were denied a clear penalty during the moment. Conroy asserted that when looking for a penalty, VAR cannot intervene in an offside scenario.”Rangers have been robbed of the chance to level the game with a penalty kick,” Conroy said on Sports Lens. It was obviously a penalty.Offside doesn’t matter. Only in the event of a result, such as a goal, can VAR check for offside. It wasn’t there.Willie Collum is present to determine if a hand ball occurred or not.The fact that the game was restarted with a goal kick rather than an indirect free kick, as would have happened if the offside had been called, is the telling circumstance.
