Rangers winger Scott Wright has bemoaned the “roll of the dice” nature of refereeing decisions in Scottish football – and made an Old Firm vow.
– but stressed he and his team mates will not let any calls which go against them affect their focus against Celtic.
However, the former Aberdeen player, who was denied his first league goal since May 11, 2022, at the weekend, confessed that he had been frustrated by both the ruling and the length of time it took VAR to arrive at decisions. “It is one of these things. It is a bit of a roll of the dice to be honest. If we looked into all these things you would probably be able to pick out hundreds of them. Unfortunately for me, it didn’t roll my way on Saturday.
Rangers fans were incensed when a Kemar Roofe goal was chalked off for a Cyriel Dessers foul on Gustaf Lagerbielke at Ibrox in September and when no penalty was awarded following an Alistair Johnston handball at Parkhead in December. “But it is for the fans in the stadium as well. They are waiting. It is not as if they have any idea what is happening. My goal went in and I didn’t realise there was any problem with it. Then you see VAR check on the big screen.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
