IT didn’t take long for the all-seeing eye of VAR to get involved at Easter Road.
Only eight minutes had elapsed in the capital before referee Kevin Clancy was pressing his earpiece up against the side of the head as Willie Collum, sat in the Scottish FA’s video review hub in Glasgow, ran the rule over a booking to Martin Boyle.
The Australia internationalist was booked for simulation after taking a tumble in the box and as the forward protested the decision, Clancy consulted Collum on the decision.
