Watch how the incredible VAR decision to award Rangers a penalty failed to give the Ibrox club an advantage over Celtic today

Celtic Park from Janefield Street

As sure as there is life, death and taxes, VAR is at hand to give Rangers a helping hand to try and keep top spot from Celtic.

The Ibrox club toiled this afternoon as a Dan Casey goal gave Motherwell a deserved 2-1 Ibrox win and blew the title race wide open.

However, the win wasn’t as straight forward as it should have been as Rangers were given another pattern of assistance after this bizarre VAR call awarded the Govan side a penalty.

Watch below:

It really is incredible how two players coming together is deemed a spot kick kick. But then, are we really that surprised?

They got a wee helping hand against Aberdeen in the League Cup final.

Even the Ross County manager has called out the decisions that Rangers get from the video ref.

And you know it’s a bad day when David Martindale starts to ask for apologies from the SFA.

Rangers have had plenty of assistance from the SFA officials over the years and as the title race hots up, you can be guaranteed that many more will come on the remaining nine games of the season.

With Hearts up next, Brendan Rodgers now knows that a win, any type of win, at Tynecastle will be enough to take Celtic back to their rightful place at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Over to you Bhoys…
