When Rangers lost to Old Firm rivals Celtic on penalty kicks, Kris Boyd blasted the VAR crew for not giving Rangers a penalty in extra time.
Philippe Clement, the manager of Rangers, has called on reporters to look into why Celtic was given the advantage once more when VAR did not step in during the first extra time.
After Celtic defender Liam Scales pulled down Vaclav Cerny, John Beaton gave the Parkhead defender a yellow card and gave Rangers a free kick.
However, replays reveal that the infraction occurred within the box, and Rangers are now requesting explanations for why Frank Connor and Alan Muir did not step in to stop it.
As the discussion surrounding the loss heats up, Kris Boyd asserts on SunSports’ Go Ballistic show that there is “no excuse” for not awarding the penalty.
Regarding the Rangers penalty call, Kris Boyd thinks there is “no excuse.”
“Even people with green tinted glasses can see that the pull is inside the box,” Boyd added.
“It enters the box, and the penalty ought to be administered.” When you let go is more important than when you begin tugging the garment.
There is no escaping the penalty kick since the player is in the box when the Celtic player releases the jersey.
John Beaton is open to criticism; in my opinion, he did a great job officiating yesterday’s match.
He brought it back for the first collision because he believed it to be a foul from where he was. The problem here is that John Beaton has been let down by VAR.
“What were Alan Muir, the VAR, and Frank Connor, the assistant VAR, doing? What were they doing, really?
You go back to the past, when both teams may have been offended by certain decisions made over the years, but there is really no justification left.
“Simple and straightforward. You can watch the video since it is there, and if someone misses it, the other person may see it.
They have no excuse for missing this.
Call John Beaton over to the monitor so he can have a look, people are saying. It’s a blatant penalty kick, so he doesn’t even need to be called over to the monitor.
“It’s black and white, it’s a penalty kick, we’re overruling that, it’s a penalty kick, the pull of the shirt finishes inside the box,” is all the VAR needs to say.
Rangers need to “delve into” Celtic’s decisions.
Additionally, Kris Boyd has been pressing Rangers, his previous team, to investigate why Celtic keeps receiving favourable judgements in Old Firm derbies.
Because of the pressure from the Parkhead administration, Rangers supporters believe that VAR is being utilised almost entirely to discover ways to protect Celtic.
Rangers continue to pull the short straw, while our Old Firm opponents frequently win big calls thanks to technology.
Patrick Stewart, the new CEO, has already taken notice of the problem and has called for a meeting with the SFA to discuss the decision.
Kris Boyd supports this since the Rangers forward challenges Celtic’s dominance of the referee narrative and their manipulation of the nation’s whistlers.
Boyd stated, “The first thing I would do if I were Fraser Thornton or Patrick Stewart is to demand a meeting.”
requesting a meeting with Ian Maxwell, Willie Collum, and the SFA.
“I am aware that the League Cup is the League’s competition, but the match officials are provided by the SFA.”
It’s not good enough, so I would like to find out why the VAR didn’t step in.
A few months ago, Rangers receiving penalty kicks was a joke and a source of amusement.
Michael Nicholson stood up during the Celtic AGM to answer questions about the club’s future plans after losing a crucial VAR judgement.
“Things have somewhat changed since then. John Greig gave away Rangers’ last penalty kick against them, according to Peter Lawwell (joking).
They’ve placed Celtic under pressure. The questions have been posed by them. If anything is said about that this morning, it will be intriguing to watch.
This morning, Rangers supporters will be seated here, asking Patrick Stewart to go pose the question, take a seat,
Now that it’s happening way too frequently, let’s investigate what’s going on.
“If I’m the Rangers, I want to find out what’s going on.
Every time something occurs to Celtic, an inquest is held, and we must find the truth.
“Whenever Rangers seem to be raising an issue, it’s dismissed with a joke or a chuckle and nothing is spoken about it.
“You need to get to the bottom of this, so if I’m Rangers, it’s time to get up and ask questions.”
