There are three things guaranteed in life these days. Life, death and Rangers not conceding a penalty.
The pattern of assistance that follows the Ibrox club is quite astonishing and today, as they close the gap to Celtic once more, it seems that the VAR team need to go to Specsavers as they somehow miss yet another blatant shirt pull in the 2-0 win at Fir Park.
In a video posted by the popular account Lint on X, a Motherwell attack was spurned as the Rangers defence took measures to stop Stuart Kettlewell’s men from hitting the back of the net by any means possible.
Maybe the Motherwell player should have thrown himself to the ground like Connor Goldson did a few weeks back to win a penalty at Ibrox. No wait, he did.
Okay, maybe VAR should have been in place to flag up the clear and obvious error that the referee missed. Wait, it was?
Then why was the penalty shout denied? I suppose you would need to ask Greg Aitken and Graham Stewart who were on video duty today. [SFA]
And for balance, here is one Rangers were awarded last season without question:

Just another day of honest mistakes in Scottish football, eh?
