The differing Ryan Kent red card verdicts as Aberdeen stance 'surprises' and Chris Sutton wades in

One of the main talking points among many following the Viaplay Cup semi-final between Aberdeen and Rangers on Sunday was Ryan Kent's clash with Liam Scales.

The incident in the 96th minute was missed by referee Nick Walsh, his on-field officials and VAR did not urge the whistler to the screen to review the injury time flashpoint. Aberdeen's centre back fell to the ground after the Gers winger lashed out on the halfway line as the Ibrox side attempted to secure a winner before the final whistle.

Opinions have been split on the incident with many Dons fans believing Kent should have been shown a straight red. VAR took centre stage once again on the biggest stage with the technology breaking down for five minutes. Both sets of supporters cheered ironically when the announcement of the system going down was made on the tannoy, while the same cheers echoed around Hampden when it came back online.
