Todd Cantwell's first Rangers goal WAS onside as Motherwell boss reveals 'clarity' over VAR call

Todd Cantwell netted his first goal for Rangers prior to the international break but there was a major question over whether the strike should have been ruled out for offside.

It was Rangers team-mate Fashion Sakala who started the attack that led to the Light Blues' third goal against Motherwell, and Cantwell's first in Rangers colours. The Fir Park side were unhappy post-match with the lines drawn through VAR that allowed the goal to stand. Stuart Kettlewell's men sought clarity from the governing body over the decision in a game marred with flashpoints for both sides.

In a weekend branded the 'worst for VAR' with prominent figures such as Ally McCoist urging the technology to be binned, it appears now Kettlewell has received more information on the particular decision. The new Steelmen boss revealed he spoke with head of referees Crawford Allan, and while he still has some 'question marks', he admits he's happy with the explanation.
