There may well be no way to definitively say that it was ‘the worst VAR decision in history’, as Elliot Watt somewhat foolhardily claimed on social media in the aftermath of his Motherwell side’s controversial loss to Celtic back in May with his blood running hot. Even if high profile figures like Gary Lineker agreed with him.

But the decision to award THAT critical stoppage time penalty for an apparent handball by Sam Nicholson was, without doubt, the most contentious call of last season.
