Connor Goldson Rangers 'handball' rejected as Michael Stewart brands VAR call an 'impossibility'

Michael Stewart believes that Connor Goldson's 'handball' was unanimously not a penalty kick against Dundee United - and blasted the way some are looking to 'punish' players.

The Rangers defender kept a clean sheet as Michael Beale's side saw out a 2-0 win at Tannadice, their first league triumph on Tayside since 2020. Fashion Sakala and Malik Tillman were on target in the second half as the Light Blues cut the gap on rivals Celtic back to nine points following a firecracker 2-2 Old Firm derby last week.

And defender Goldson was at the centre of more penalty talk, after his supposed handball against Ange Postecoglou's men was dismissed by VAR which sparked fan backlash. The Englishman was the subject of another incident at Tannadice when the ball struck his arm in the penalty area from a corner in the second half. Referee Steven McLean consulted with VAR on the call but no spot-kick was awarded.
