Connor Goldson's handball incident for Rangers against Hearts has been tipped to be a starting point for referees getting calls inside the penalty box correct.
The defender kicked the ball up onto his own hand during a convincing 3-0 win for Michael Beale's men over Hearts at Tynecastle, sparking debate over whether VAR should have been looking at it as a possible penalty. VAR backed up referee John Beaton's initial assessment and former Rangers defender Richard Foster agreed on PLZ Soccer that it wasn't an incident worthy of a spot-kick.
There has been some dubiety over the handball rule this season in the wake of VAR's introduction, but the ex-full-back is keen for this moment with Goldson to perhaps be an example for referees to follow. He explained: "I don't think you can be clear whether it definitely hits his hand. It maybe brushes past it. The ridiculous thing is that weeks ago there would have been more of a chance of it being given.
