Andy Walker hammers VAR in Celtic vs Rangers fallout and calls for 'some sort of stance' after Kevin Clancy abuse

Andy Walker has yet again scathed the use of VAR - but reckons there is far too much hate out there in the wake of the sickening abuse of Kevin Clancy.

VAR was once again the centre of attention on Saturday in the Old Firm derby when Alfredo Morelos thought he had turned home an opener at Celtic Park, before the goal was ruled out Kevin Clancy decided he had pushed Alistair Johnston. In the aftermath of the game, the official has had abuse sent his way and contact details published online, with the SFA referring the matter to Police Scotland.

Since VAR's initiation into Scottish Premiership football in October, fans have continued to voice their displeasure at the men behind the screen for their inconsistency within decision making. But Walker believes that whilst the refereeing contingent have been making poor decisions with VAR backing them, those watching from afar are analysing in an extremely forensic matter.
