Madden and others reckon John Beaton was spot on to disallow Sima's goal for a Nico Raskin push on Joe Hart.
Bobby Madden reckons Abdallah Sima 's Rangers goal in the Scottish Cup Final was rightly ruled out, and has the elite back up to prove it.
But the Belgian was fairly obvious in putting two hands on Hart's back, and that led John Beaton to suggest Walsh double check over ruling the goal out. And Madden believes his former colleague was spot on, despite an apparently harder shove from Liam Scales not being penalised with a free-kick in the first half. Madden said: "This goal is correctly disallowed following and on field review.
"You simply can’t be behind the goalkeeper and push them as they jump to play the ball. You can debate all day whether you think the goalkeeper would have played the ball, he has only missed it by a matter of centimetres. What you can’t debate is that the push has an impact on the goalkeeper, and that can’t be ignored by the VAR when they have such a clear image."
