Collum Admits Officiating Errors in Premiership Start
News summary

Scottish FA head of referees Willie Collum has admitted that officials made two major errors in the opening weeks of the season. Celtic should have been awarded a penalty in their 4-0 win over Kilmarnock, and Dundee United deserved a spot-kick for handball in their 2-2 draw with Dundee. Collum also criticized referee Matthew MacDermid's body language before Cyriel Dessers' controversial goal for Rangers against St Johnstone, though he agreed the goal was correctly awarded after VAR intervention. Additionally, Collum highlighted that Kilmarnock's Danny Armstrong should not have been booked for simulation as his heel was clipped outside the penalty box. Despite these errors, Collum expressed satisfaction with the overall start and progress made in refereeing and VAR decisions.
