Michael Beale shuts down Celtic handball claim as Rangers boss insists John Beaton got Connor Goldson call 'spot on'

Michael Beale reckons John Beaton and Willie Collum were "spot on" in their interpretation of the rules in last weekend's derby.

The fallout from the 2-2 draw at Ibrox is still being felt after Record Sport revealed following the game that Celtic are taking their case to the SFA to demand an explanation over their handling of VAR. It came after claims they were denied a penalty for handball by Connor Goldson, while they have also been left furious at decisions that went against them in clashes against Hearts, Ross County and Dundee United.

But speaking about last weekend's derby in particular, Rangers boss Beale couldn't see the problem. He reckons both Beaton and VAR Collum were on the money, saying: "It seems we all wanted VAR. Now we have it and we don't know if we want it now. John Beaton had a good game. When you read the rules they got it spot on."
