Charlie Nicholas has slammed the Scottish FA and SPFL for doing VAR on the cheap after it failed to do its job during the Viaplay Cup semi-finals.
With the Hampden pitch cutting up at every opportunity, the video technology wasn't much better, especially as Rangers took on Aberdeen in the second instalment of the last four encounters. The day before, Willie Collum didn't award Kilmarnock what appeared to be a stonewall penalty against Celtic after Giorgos Giakoumakis hauled Joe Wright to the ground in stoppage time. The whistler waved play on and VAR somehow agreed with the whistler's call.
The following day, Nick Walsh was forced to go old school more than once as technical issues meant his eye in the sky went blind as pictures and audio stopped going between Clydesdale House and Hampden. It was announced during extra-time that VAR would not be in operation from the remainder of the game, only to start working again.
