Willie Collum, the Scottish Football Association’s head of refereeing, admits Rangers should have been awarded a penalty in the League Cup final against Celtic.
Celtic defender Liam Scales brought down Vaclav Cerny in the first half of extra time, but referee John Beaton ruled the incident had taken place outside the penalty area.
VAR Alan Muir and assistant Frank Connor were unable to override the on-field decision, meaning the score was 3-3 before Rangers lost the shootout.
However, Collum told the SFA’s VAR review show: “The hold (on Cerny’s shirt) starts outside the penalty area and then continues on the line and arguably beyond the line and fully into the penalty area. Regardless of the fact that it is on the line.” This should be considered a penalty.
