Scottish FA refereeing boss Willie Collum admits Rangers should have been awarded a penalty in the League Cup final against Celtic.
Celtic defender Liam Scales brought down Vaclav Cerny in the first half of extra time, but referee John Beaton ruled that the incident took place outside the area.
VAR Alan Muir and assistant Frank Connor did not overturn the decision on the field, with the score tied 3-3 before Rangers lost the penalty shoot-out.
However, Collum told the SFA’s VAR Review Show: “The holding (of Cerny’s shirt) starts outside the penalty area and then continues on the line and possibly beyond the line and completely inside the penalty area. “Regardless, the fact that it is on the line This should be considered a penalty kick.”
