Alternate Rangers penalty universe arises in disallowed goal debate as Celtic foul scenario paints definitive verdict

dailyrecord.co.uk

A refereeing unknown has thrown another spanner into the Rangers disallowed goal debate works. Kemar Roofe looked to have fired the hosts at Ibrox in front against Celtic, when Cyriel Dessers' challenge floored centre-back Gustaf Lagerbielke and he set his strike partner up to finish.

But Alan Muir at VAR HQ called referee Don Robertson over the monitor and he deemed his initial decision wrong, changing his mind to award a free-kick.

It left the home fans enraged and Kyogo's goal on the stroke of half-time sealed a 1-0 victory on Brendan Rodgers' return to the Premiership's most famous fixture.

Neil McCann was far from happy with the call on post-match radio duties and his opinion hadn't changed on Sportscene. He said: "I am always very honest as you know but I think this should stand.
