One Celtic VAR snub defies Monday Jury belief but was it worse than Rangers penalty howler?

KEITH JACKSON: Ross McCausland got hit by both ends of the VAR stick and neither of the calls were correct. But the decision not to red card Aberdeen defender Slobodan Rubezic for wiping out Kyogo Furuhashi was the one which defied belief.

DAVID MCCARTHY: The penalty awarded to Rangers for Ross McCauland’s dive should never have been given and it’s bizarre how anyone in the VAR booth, seeing what we saw on TV, could think otherwise.

CRAIG SWAN: Rangers’ first penalty at Livingston looked soft and could easily have been turned around.

MICHAEL GANNON: The McCausland disallowed goal at Livi. Sima barely breathed down the neck of Montana in the build up and never enough to rule it out. VAR should have corrected the mistake on the pitch.

KEITH: The manager has already hinted that Zander Clark and Liam Kelly could start one game each. That’s probably what he has in mind with Clark going first on Thursday night.

DAVID: I strongly suspect Liam Kelly and Zander Clark will get a game each to add to their debuts against France last month.

CRAIG: That’s a 50/50 call. Whoever shows up best in training should get the nod.

MICHAEL: t could be a toss of a coin job as both back ups are equally capable. Zander Clark is the one to get the nod.

KEITH: Yes. St Johnstone have made a very smart choice by bringing him back into the fold. Motherwell, Ross County and Livingston have their work cut out to stay clear of trouble.

DAVID: Yes, and probably without the need of a play-off either. He’s a very good manager and in Andy Kirk, he has brought in an excellent coach.

CRAIG: Levein will find the ways to get points on the board and keep his club up.

MICHAEL: Levein still has his work cut out as the weakness of the squad will eventually drag down
