There are many constants in Scottish football and one that has crept into our game is the controversy around the introduction of VAR.
Since it went live in October last year there have been dodgy calls every week and this weekend was no exception. While officials have ironed out some of the teething problems, the handball rule has proved to be a thorn in their side. At the start of the season referees were giving spot kicks nearly every weekend for handball offences, however they have dried up since the restart following the World Cup break.
Record Sport understands no new directives have been issued to officials since the showpiece in Qatar, however things have clearly changed with refs pointing to the spot a lot less. Players and managers have called for clarity around the situation with Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou leading the calls.
