Kenny Dalglish was stunned at the ragged Rangers display against Union Saint-Gilloise but admitted the penalty award against the Ibrox side was just as shocking - and proves VAR won’t cure all ills when it’s introduced into Scottish football this season.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst watched his side slump to a 2-0 defeat in Belgium with the second goal coming from a harsh penalty award against the Light Blues for a handball against Connor Goldson as it deflected onto him from close range after ricocheting off Ben Davies.
The Light Blues have a huge task ahead of them as they look to overturn a two-goal first leg deficit. While Dalglish admitted the spot kick award was ridiculous, he couldn’t fathom the flat performance from Rangers. But the Liverpool and Scotland legend believes a packed Ibrox on Tuesday night could help “spook” the Belgians who went down to a 3-0 defeat against Mechelen in the league on Saturday.
