Celtic should have increased the gap to Rangers this weekend but when Livingston were denied a penalty at Ibrox, that put paid to that.
The decision enraged Livingston boss David Martindale as he called out the VAR mistake that cost his side a potential three points.
As Scottish football shook its collective head, Livingston FC let their feeling be publicly known about what they thought of the Ibrox VAR as they called it out on social media.

Livingston took to their official X account and tweeted out exactly what they thought of the Ibrox VAR performance.

The tweet went viral with over 1.2m views, 584 replies, over 5400 likes and 644 retweets.
The pattern of assistance was clear and Livingston did brilliantly to call it out.
