VAR blasted for Rangers onside decision as ex referee fumes over 'mythical situation' that changed Motherwell match

Steve Conroy believes Fashion Sakala was offside in Rangers' third goal at Motherwell and it should not have stood.

The Light Blues ran out 4-2 winners at Fir Park in an incident-packed match. Max Johnston was deemed marginally onside as he put in a cross for Kevin Van Veen's home opener, before James Tavernier levelled up. Sakala scored shortly after half-time before the pendulum swung again via Bevis Mugabi's leveller. It's the third goal which has proven contentious for the former referee.

Sakala was announced as onside by VAR as the lines were drawn up but Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell wants clarity whether it was correct or not. And speaking to Grosvenor Sport, he believes Cantwell's header should not have stood with Sakala offside. Rangers went on to win via a Malik Tillman goal while Callum Slattery's red card for a flailing arm on the January signing also proved a debate point after Nick Walsh's decision.
