Raging Kris Boyd blows gasket at VAR as Rangers hero demands NAMES of people on review panel

Raging Kris Boyd is fed up of VAR slowing Scottish football down - and the Rangers hero had the controversial independent review panel in his cross hairs.

Pundit Boyd was on duty for Sky Sports as two of his old teams faced at Ibrox. On paper it was a comfortable 4-1 win for Philippe Clement and his team over 10-man Kilmarnock, but the early part of the game was completely dominated by VAR and ref David Dickinson. The whistler was sent to the monitor to review an early Rangers penalty for handball but stuck to his guns, before Killie's opening goal was also reviewed. Joe Wright was then sent off after Dickinson checked the monitor and awarded Gers a spot-kick later in the first half, which James Tavernier missed.

The general feeling was that the correct decisions were reached in the end but there is an overarching frustration with how the technology is slowing games down. All the drama also came after the SFA's anonymous VAR Independent Review Panel published its latest list of adjudged mistakes by the tech, with two of those going against Rangers.

A livid Boyd let rip on Sky Sports: "When you look at the VAR independent review panel, it's annoying me that people can sit behind something and make decisions on these clips and things? Why are they not being named? Why is it being hidden?

"We're all about transparency. You know what it's like, as soon as it comes out that you've had decisions against you, it all kicks off. So why are these people able to sit behind a desk and nobody knows who you are? It's not right. They should be named. We're able to sit here and say what we want, because we front up to it. There's people sitting having influence on Scottish football, and nobody knows who they are. They won't be doing
