Rangers fell to a devastating defeat to Celtic on Sunday afternoon which could have been avoided if VAR was in operation. The fact is, that the Gers utterly dominated at Hampden, and up until the hour mark, Celtic had offered absolutely nothing in attack. The goal was to prove their only shot on target of…
100% agree with you bud. Losing against a Celtic
side that were never in the game and for their goal to have 3 players in an obvious offside position is an absolute disgrace. I’m not VAR’S biggest fan because it’s still a work in progress but 1second into checking for offside would have cleared everything up an we would have went on and lifted the cup. We were just to good for them and now they know their in for a fight for the league and the Scottish cup! Bring it on.

I feel that offside is a feeble excuse we had around 10 chances at goal Celtic only had two and scored one. This includes a penalty so we really should have done them in big time.
I don’t think anyone is using the offside non-decision as an excuse for our defeat. Had we taken our chances Celtic’s goal would have just been a consolation as we would have been out of sight. The game is over Rangers move on and hopefully the players will step up again on Thursday night and win. WATP.
Really can’t make my mind up about VAR watched Liverpool yesterday and thought Mane’s goal ruled offside was harsh didn’t make a difference to the result but if that was the only goal Liverpool would have thought they were robbed. It does seem like opening a can of worms.
The penalty should have been re taken not sure if that’s covered by VAR can you imagine if that game had been put under the microscope on ref watch the following morning on sky?The sooner Scotland gets VAR the better
