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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rangers were denied a legitimate goal, Hearts should have had one disallowed in the same game, and both…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-155182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
