The Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic is a heated affair, and even a shared result doesn't always satisfy the passionate fans. But did the referee get it right this time?
Despite initial praise for the officiating team, including referee John Beaton and the VAR crew, controversy has emerged over three potential penalty claims that were not awarded during the match. These incidents have sparked debates among fans and experts alike.
The first incident involved Rangers' Tochi Chukwuani and Celtic's Liam Scales. In the 10th minute, Chukwuani seemed to wrap his arms around Scales and wrestle him to the ground. Former Grade One official Steve Conroy, who co-hosts the Ref's View podcast, suggested this could have been a penalty, stating, "He's being held, so it's more of a penalty call." However, opinions differ, as it could also be seen as a fair challenge.
