SFA official handcuffs of ex-grade one Barry Ferguson’s assessment of three significant Rangers vs Celtic moments The Celtic vs Rangers Glasgow Derby consistently generates substantial discussion that persists for days.
The SFA-appointed match officials are frequently the subject of scrutiny, and Celtic’s draw with Rangers featured three significant flashpoints. Nick Walsh was required to conduct VAR tests on a Rangers disallowed goal, an Adam Idah Celtic goal, and a potential penalty call that left Ibrox manager Barry Ferguson in tears at the conclusion of the match. Des Roache, a former SFA referee, has rendered his assessment of all three
Celtic flashpoints that will undoubtedly leave Barry Ferguson in a state of disbelief as the dust settles on the significant Glasgow Derby draw. Des Roache’s assessment of Adam Idah’s Celtic goal and Raskin’s Rangers goal that was nullified The initial two significant discussions were the decision to disallow Rangers’ opening goal by Nico Raskin and the decision by VAR to allow Adam Idah’s goal to stand.
The 2000-strong Celtic contingent tucked away in the corner at Ibrox was delighted by both decisions, which enraged Rangers supporters. Roache offers an explanation for why the match officials were correct in both cases. Roache stated to the Daily Record, “The decision by VAR to disallow Nicolas Raskin’s opener was correct.” A premature movement by the midfielder preceded the execution of the free kick.
The officials were also correct in awarding Celtic their equalizer through Adam Idah. When the ball was received at the commencement of the attacking phase of play, Daizen Maeda was onside and did not obstruct Liam Kelly’s view of the goal. Barry Ferguson is “clinging to straws” regarding Rangers’ penalty claim against Celtic.
When queried about a potential penalty claim for his team, Barry Ferguson launched a peculiar tirade about how Rangers “didn’t get much” from Nick Walsh and the match officials at full-time. However, Roache informs the interim manager of Ibrox that he is merely “clinging to a few strands” in relation to the penalty claim.Roache continued,
“The Ianis Hagi penalty claim, which resulted in the Rangers bench alternately roaring at the fourth official, was a topic of discussion; however, they were grasping at straws.” “Not all contact is considered a foul.” It was insufficient to warrant a penalty in a physical contest. Callum McGregor simply utilized his body and reversed direction.
Rangers’ season has concluded, and Celtic is now concentrating on achieving their ninth domestic treble by defeating Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final. If Brendan Rodgers is able to accomplish this, this season will be remembered for the completion of yet another Celtic treble, rather than the inconsequential draws in a dead rubber Glasgow Derby.
