In an intriguing twist to the already dramatic narrative surrounding the recent Glasgow derby, the Scottish Football Association (SFA) has reportedly disputed the Rangers’ account of a crucial meeting held to discuss the VAR decision from the recent clash. [RecordSport]
This development adds another layer of complexity and controversy to a saga that’s been simmering since the final whistle at Celtic Park.
The Ibrox side previously issued a statement claiming that during the discussed meeting with the SFA, there was a unanimous agreement that the no handball call against Celtic’s Alistair Johnston was incorrect.
They also asserted that the VAR audio from the match didn’t include any mention of an offside that would have negated the penalty, had it been given. This version of events has now been reportedly contested by the SFA, hinting at a deeper disagreement between the two parties.
As the SFA reportedly challenges the Rangers’ narrative, questions arise about the actual proceedings and conclusions of the meeting. Were the Rangers’ claims of an agreement on the VAR mistake accurate, or is there more to the story that has yet to unfold?
While this goes on Celtic are enjoying some time out and taking a back seat to this weird and petulant meltdown. It‘s crazy what a derby defeat can do to a club.
