Willie Collum was involved in a controversial moment during Rangers' last trip to Celtic Park in December
It’s fair to say that Rangers weren’t too happy with Willie Collum after the last Old Firm game he was involved in.
Collum decided that it wasn’t enough though and no further action was taken, while an image then came out later in the game to show that it was potentially offside in the build-up and used that as a reason to not award the spot kick. “England’s Premier League and other leading European Leagues operate on a ‘nothing to hide’ basis, where open communication and full transparency are available to clubs and the public on contentious VAR calls in a timely manner.
"During the meeting, it was pointed out that the incident in question was a subjective handball and that the VAR did not deem it a sufficiently clear and obvious error to refer to On Field Review. Furthermore, the offside would not have been mentioned at the time as it was not part of the VAR’s decision-making on the handball.
"Since the summer, we have ensured that Key Match Incidents are reviewed and shared with all clubs after every full round of 11 Premiership fixtures, including use of audio. We will continue to do this, along with KMI being shared with the Independent Review Panel for their consideration and opinion.
