Record Sport invited Steve Conroy to compare the two similar incidents which led to different outcomes.
Rangers fans still seething over the decision to rule out Kemar Roofe’s goal against Celtic at Ibrox before the international break were further angered by a decision that went the way of their rivals at the weekend.
However, it’s the actual nature of the incident itself which has gone under the microscope. Rangers fans have drawn comparisons between Turnbull’s and Cyriel Dessers and Gustaf Laberbielke at Ibrox. There are similarities but Dessers was the one who was penalised after winning possession from the Swedish stopper before setting up Roofe to score. Having initially allowed the goal to to stand, referee Don Robertson was referred to VAR and then chopped it off.
