Rangers SFA complaint letter has sparked VAR power cut and Crawford Allan silence is deafening - Hotline

The row over the Abdallah Sima shove continues to rumble into the weekend with Celtic fans up in arms.

Rangers breezed past Livingston but the Hotline storm won’t go away with VAR again in the centre of the controversy. Jack Armstrong, Bathgate, said: “There is nothing wrong with VAR, it’s the incompetents supervising it who are the problem. There was not one person watching the Sima incident who didn't see it as a blatant foul. These people can make any decision they like and there is no explanation at the time and no consequences. Utter shambles.”

Paul McCormack, Coatbridge, said: “So it seems a letter of complaint to the SFA about referees' performances works, given the decisions Rangers got in their favour against Motherwell and Livingston. Does a complaint result in a power cut in the VAR studio?” Henry Moffat, Stirling, said: “The silence from Crawford Allan is deafening after yet another shocking VAR no show in an incident involving Rangers. He was out of his seat like a jack in the box over a decision involving Celtic but after two of the worst VAR decisions in history with Celtic's no penalty at Kilmarnock and Wednesday night’s latest joke at Ibrox people want answers, so where is he now?”

But Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, said: “Thanks to all the Celtic supporters who were obviously watching the Rangers game on Wednesday. That will further boost the viewing figures and enhance Scottish football.”

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has spoken this week about the potential of Reo Hatate and Matt O’Riley. But Chris Lowe, Yoker, said: “Comedy Gold over the last few days from the Celtic minded pundits claiming that O’Riley and Hatate are worth millions and Celtic fans should enjoy them while they can. It got me wondering
