Rangers Demand Explanation from Scottish FA on Penalty Call

After a controversial non-award of a penalty during the Premier Sports Cup Final where Rangers faced Celtic, new Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart has demanded an explanation from the Scottish FA. The incident occurred when Liam Scales fouled Vaclav Cerny, with many, including former referee Bobby Madden, asserting it was clearly a penalty according to IFAB rules. Despite replays showing the foul occurred with Cerny's foot on the line, VAR officials, including Alan Muir, failed to intervene. Manager Philippe Clement expressed frustration over the lack of communication from VAR to the on-field referee, John Beaton, during a crucial moment in the match. The Rangers hierarchy is now seeking clarity on the VAR decision-making process, with calls for a meeting with SFA officials to address these officiating issues. Kris Boyd, a former Rangers player, has echoed the need for answers, emphasizing the importance of accountability in officiating decisions.
