Dermot Gallagher gives Rangers and Celtic verdict as he claims Kent and Giakoumakis deserve punishment

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has run his eye over the big VAR controversies over the weekend in Scottish football and it's not good reading for our officials.

Three big issues dominated the conversation following the Premiership and Viaplay Cup semi-finals from Friday night to Sunday evening. Celtic and Rangers both secured their places in the final which will take place next month, however they were both involved in controversies at the national stadium. Whistlers Willie Collum and Nick Walsh were criticised for their performances at the weekend for failing to consult VAR over two huge incidents involving the Glasgow giants.

Away from the League Cup semi-finals St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson fumed at the technology branding it "soul destroying" after his side were denied a penalty at Tynecastle in the Friday night game. Hearts player Kye Rowles' hand made contact with the ball and looked a stonewall spot kick, however David Munro missed the incident and was not urged to head to VAR to look again at the incident.
