Rangers’ complaints about VAR not flagging to the referee that the ball had crossed the line (we’ll ignore the foul on Rocky for now) are a direct result of Celtic’s tears about having a goal rightly disallowed at Easter Rd earlier in the season.

We found ourselves in the ridiculous situation where Collum watched and listened to the VAR pinpoint the moment the ball went out of play, and then proceed to tell us that the VAR couldn’t have been sure and that you’d need conclusive proof, otherwise you need to go with the on field decision.

It was a weird take, there had been no such insistence on VAR needing anything other than the eye test for these scenarios up until that point, but it meant that Rangers were able to take the ball just over the byline at Pittodrie before cutting it back to score - the linesman from the other side of the pitch and some distance back ruled that the ball never went out, and VAR weren’t allowed to trust their eyes to say otherwise, and the goal stood.

Today we saw a situation where it looks like the ball has crossed the line (to some) and now because Collum chucked the VAR under the bus to appease Celtic, they refused to use their eyes for what looked like a fairly easy decision to make.

The gaslighting from Collum, the media, and Celtic (throw in Jim Goodwin for pretending he couldn’t see a handball) has made VAR incapable of ruling on the type of incidents it’s there for.

It’s a shambolic situation, caused by a massive overreaction to what was a correct decision at Easter Rd and a referee chief who was too scared to back his team in the face of criticism.

Quite glad it’s gone in our favour again, if I’m completely honest. 😂😂
