Fran Alonso reckons his Celtic side could have won the title if VAR had operated in their past two SWPL meetings with Rangers.
Caitlin Hayes had a goal chopped off in the last game between the sides at the start of this month, which Rangers won 1-0. And the Hoops boss also felt Celtic had a legitimate penalty claim dismissed in the 1-1 draw in March. VAR will be used at Hampden today for their Scottish Cup Final against Rangers – the first time it has been used in a women’s domestic game. Alonso is all for it and said: “I was 100 per cent on board
“We’ve been extremely unlucky in our last two games against Rangers. VAR would have made a difference – maybe we’d be going for the double? For me, VAR is important. It is a help to the referee. Referees, like coaches and players, make mistakes – we are human.
