Rangers were denied a legitimate goal, Hearts should have had one disallowed in the same game, and both Celtic and Hibernian were wrongly awarded penalties last weekend, according to the Scottish FA’s review panel.
The panel of former players, coaches and media representatives – plus individuals from the Scottish FA and clubs – delivered their latest assessment of VAR decisions in the Scottish Premiership on Friday.
It deemed two key decisions were wrong in Hearts’ 2-0 win at Ibrox last weekend – a result that has heaped more pressure on Rangers head coach Russell Martin.
They unanimously agreed the VAR was incorrect not to intervene and ask referee Steven McLean to review a handball by Lawrence Shankland in the build-up to Hearts’ opener.
And they also believe VAR should have suggested to McLean that he was wrong to rule out Derek Cornelius’ effort for a foul on goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow.
