Motherwell go to SFA after Rangers over VAR drama and Todd Cantwell red card flashpoint during Hampden crunch talks

Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell has revealed he has held crunch talks with SFA Head of Football Operations following the clash with Rangers.

The victory for Michael Beale's side was packed with incidents with the visitors eventually running out winners in Lanarkshire against the Steelmen, but Kettlewell was left frustrated by the decision that allowed Todd Cantwell to score the third Rangers goal. Motherwell felt Fashion Sakala appeared to be in an offside position when he whipped the ball into the box, which was then converted by Cantwell in a goalmouth scramble to give the Ibrox side the lead.

Referee Nick Walsh was not sent to the monitor by VAR Andrew Dallas to review the incident – as in line with protocol – with the lines that were applied to the pitch in Lanarkshire showing the Zambian was onside. With Rangers leading 4-2, Callum Slattery was shown his second yellow card of the afternoon when Cantwell went down clutching his face after contract from the Motherwell midfielder.
