Two Rangers VAR calls deemed wrong by review panel

The panel - made up of former players, managers, coaches and experts on the laws of the game - state Rangers had two decisions go against them as ten wrong calls were communicated to clubs.

The Scottish FA update announced 26 'key match incidents' had come to the incorrect outcome in the Scottish Premiership this season with ten announced in their most recent communication.

Among the decisions deemed incorrect were the red card shown to Dujon Sterling and a handball against Rangers in their match at Rugby Park.

Sterling was shown a red card in the match between Rangers and Aberdeen on Feburary 6 with Don Robertson sticking with his decision despite being advised to review the incident on the pitchside monitor.

The Ibrox utility man was ordered off for his challenge on Jack MacKenzie at Ibrox - leaving Philippe Clement furious. Rangers appealed the decision but that was unsuccessful with Sterling serving a suspension.

The panel also ruled the penalty against Rangers for Kilmarnock in the league meeting on February 28 should not have been given.

John Lundstram was penalised for handball in the match as he blocked a Danny Armstrong cross into the box. However, the panel have ruled the correct outcome should have been a VAR review and the handball decision overturned.

The penalty led to Kilmarnock's opening goal in the contest but Rangers ran out 2-1 winners.
