Antonio Colak's Rangers handball 'never a penalty' as 'ideal situation' to overturn VAR highlighted

Antonio Colak's handball against Partick Thistle was 'less of a penalty' than Connor Goldson's handball against Celtic, and referee David Munro should have overturned VAR for the first time.

That is the view of former grade one referee Des Roache who insists there was a number of errors to be examined during Rangers' 3-2 win over the Jags in the Scottish Cup. First VAR was in the spotlight when Celtic received a penalty for a handball that saw St Mirren defender Richard Taylor sent off in an eventual 5-1 win for Ange Postecoglou's men.

It was all high drama to follow Ibrox when Rangers conceded a first-half penalty at the expense of Colak, who was adjudged to have handled the ball following a VAR review. On-field official David Munro did not initially award the spot-kick but VAR assistant Steven Kirkland suggested a review which resulted in the decision.
