The SFA were last night urged to clarify their guidance to referees over the application of the hand ball rule in the wake of the outcry over a controversial incident in the match between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox on Monday.
Celtic fans were incensed when match official John Beaton refused to award Ange Postecoglou’s side a penalty after the ball appeared to strike the arm of Rangers centre half Connor Goldson inside his own area during the second-half.
Video assistant referee Willie Collum backed up Beaton’s initial ruling in a cinch Premiership game which the defending champions drew 2-2 thanks to a late Kyogo Furuhashi goal after watching back replays in Clydesdale House.
