Rodgers felt the decisions to award his own side a spot kick and disallow a Cyriel dessers goal were spot on.
Brendan Rodgers has accused Fabio Silva of "simulating" the penalty that helped Rangers come back from the dead.
But VAR Nick Walsh sent him to the monitor and another looked resulted in Silva's yellow being wiped and a penalty to Rangers, which James Tavernier buried to spark a comeback. On paper, a 3-3 draw would have been acceptable to Rodgers in the context of a tight title race, playing across Glasgow with no away fans in the house. But letting 2-0 and 3-2 leads slip will be a source of frustration.
"I thought it was a good decision on the pitch and when you watch it back on the replays, it's really good recovery defending by Ali Johnston. He's going one way and you can see he gets a nick on the ball and plays it away. The Hoops converted a penalty of their own before the break thanks to a Connor Goldson handball. And Cyriel Dessers thought he'd made it 2-2, only for his close range scrambled strike to be ruled out for an earlier foul on Nicolas Kuhn, which also went to VAR.
