Rangers and Celtic big calls come into Ref Watch focus as Dermot Gallagher delivers expert opinion

Celtic and Rangers were involved in one or two big VAR calls this weekend as former top referee Dermot Gallagher provided his analysis.

Michael Beale's side were up first at Fir Park as they bounced back with a 4-2 win over Motherwell, with Todd Cantwell opening his Rangers account and being involved in a red card flashpoint with Callum Slattery that divided opinion. There were also calls for offside during some of Rangers' goals, something that Motherwell reportedly want to take to the SFA.

Meanwhile Celtic's victory over Hibernian saw three penalties awarded and a red card. First Carl Starfelt was penalised via a VAR review for a shirt pull before his defensive partner Cameron Carter-Vickers went down in the area after a tussle with Paul Hanlon. Frenchman Elie Youan also saw red at Parkhead while a penalty awarded for a foul on Liel Abada was rescinded upon review.
