According to Peter Martin, it is illogical for Rangers and Celtic to rerun the Premier Sports Cup final following the VAR dispute.
The head of officiating for the Scottish FA, Willie Collum, has acknowledged that the officials erred in failing to give the Light Blues a spot kick following Vaclav Cerny’s foul during extra time.
On December 15, the Gers lost 5–4 on penalties at Hampden Park, and calls for a rerun of the match have been denounced as “ludicrous.”
“I’ve heard some ridiculous suggestion that they should replay the match, which is just complete nonsense,” Martin stated in an interview with PLZ Soccer [December 19].
At Hampden Park, will Rangers play Celtic again?
The matchup with Celtic for the Scottish League title will never happen again.
It is regrettable that the Bears lost the Old Firm derby at Hampden following the 3-3 draw, but it is pointless to pursue the matter further.
When Brendan Rodgers’ team visits Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on January 2, Philippe Clement and his club will have an opportunity to get revenge.
Rangers are currently 11 points behind the Hoops in the league standings, and although it may not be possible to catch their Old Firm opponents, they must at least take second place.
The supporters at Ibrox will surely be eager to see what the Light Blues can accomplish against Manchester United on January 23 after their thrilling Europa League performance against Tottenham.
Next month, Fraserburgh will play for the Gers in the Scottish Cup, a tournament that Clement needs to win at the end of the current campaign.
A replay against Celtic will be welcomed by Bears supporters, but it is pointless to worry about it.
