Former top ref Dermot Gallagher wasn’t even asked to give his take on Celtic’s penalty claim for a potential Connor Goldson handball Rangers’ derby draw at Ibrox on Monday. Gallagher appeared on a special edition of his Sky Sports Ref Watch but the incident didn’t even appear to be considered worthy of discussion.
Instead, the 65-year-old was only quizzed on the spot kick awarded to Michael Beale’s side when Fashion Sakala went down under Carl Starfelt’s challenge inside the box with James Tavernier converting for his 100th career goal.
Debate has raged since full time over the Goldson incident with Record Sport revealing how the Parkhead club are looking for talks with the SFA over that and other VAR incidents. Fans would have been keen to hear Gallagher’s take yet it was completely blanked by Sky Sports as they picked out the Light Blues penalty for discussion instead.
