Rangers need to heap an unbelievable amount of pressure on to the officials ahead of the game at new year. We need to have them terrified to make the wrong decision against us or another decision in their favour. Id really make a concerted effort across all platforms to do this.

[@Mountainman2468]

How many times have VAR owned up to having made “mistakes” with decisions against Rangers.? I count 6

[@Reargunner-o7h]

It's pathetic. In a previous game, a blatant hand ball and it takes half an hour for them to show footage of a foul earlier in the play. They missed the trip on Diomande just before Kuhn scored. Where is the parity?

[@lukegibson973]

When we went 1-0 up on Sunday, I didn't even celebrate initially because, I was waiting for it to be pulled back for a foul on a Celtic player from an incident 20 minutes before 😂. Just like the Sima goal in the SC final.

The VAR team are either totally incompetent or are cheats, either way they should never work in the Scottish game again. Wont happen, but would happen if the shoe was on other foot, it would be all over the press and they would be hounded out of the game

[@neilmckechnie6638]

We know for certain that it cannot be incompetence because: a) Alan Muir and Frank Connor know the VAR protocols and the laws of the game. b) The VAR protocols and the laws of the game are both very short and easy to understand even by a schoolboy. c) The VAR officials have access to the best digital audio and visual equipment to capture each offence in crystal clear detail. d) Each offence committed by Celtic are not subjective assessments but are findings of fact

[@neilmckechnie6638]

Here are the only SFA options for explaining the VAR officials decisions, in the League Cup final. a) At the moment of the Cerny penalty kick incident, the VAR team lost all pictures of the incident, ditto for Kasper Schmeichel's encroachment during the penalty shootout. b) Alan Muir and Frank Connot were both not in the VAR room and did not witness the above incidents. There are no other plaudible explanations.

[@peterwhitelaw5283]

Have the SFA actually admitted anything yet?.

[@neilmckechnie6638]

The SFA cannot and will not admit that they are running a Celtic-minded VAR regime, if they try to insult the fans by saying that this was a mistake. This is the beginning of the end of the SFA as a credible rules based organisation and unfortunately, the end of Scottish football as a competitive jurisdiction, which upholds the laws of the game. The SPFL has fallen on the Celtic-minded sword of Damocles.

I know the review has to watch what they say but the shear volume of “honest mistakes” over the years which have helped Celtic in games against us is damming it is obvious what has been happening. If it waddles and quacks it is a 100% a Duck so call it as it is we are being cheated .Two points I have which has hardly been mentioned our players must learn to make their feelings known to the referee when incidents like the penalty happens we just accept it and get on with it does anyone think Barry Ferguson for instance would let the officials away with that penalty decision . And second don’t really blame Beaton as he did give a foul but the linesman was in a perfect position to put Beaton right and tell him it was a penalty he was only 10 yards away with a clear view why didn’t he only logical reason is he cheated but very little mention of him cheating in the press he should be sacked immediately blatant cheating .

Boyata headbutts Gary Mckay Steven in the box and referee stops game for a head knock (same incident they got a pen for at Easter Road last season). 2019 League Cup final vs Rangers - Win the game with a goal in which 3 of their players (including the goalscorer) were offside. 2019 Scottish Cup Final vs Hearts - Edouard awarded a penalty for a dive whilst Celtic trail the game and hadn’t registered a shot on target. 2021 League Cup final vs Hibs - Hibs denied stonewall penalty in the last minute for a shove. Kyogo marginally off for Celtics equaliser. 2023 League Cup semi vs Kilmarnock - Blatant handball in build up to Celtics opener ignored. Kilmarnock denied a stonewall penalty in the last minute at 1-0. 2023 Scottish Cup Semi vs Aberdeen - Aberdeen denied penalty to award Celtic a soft free kick. Kyogo fouls Aberdeen defender in build-up to their equaliser. 2023 Scottish Cup Final vs Rangers - We are denied a perfectly good opening goal in the middle of the second half. 2024 League Cup Final vs Rangers - Celtic allowed to take lead with a goal in which the goalscorer fouls the player marking him in the build up. We are denied the most blatant penalty you’ll ever see to take the lead in extra time. 10 separate games at Hampden in the last 7 years where they’ve received massive game changing incorrect decisions in their favour with the game in the balance or whilst losing. That’s before we get into constant ignoring of second yellows and the likes. They are quite literally being aided and abetted by our officials to help them win trophies. It’s quite a list, and this is just isolated cup games at Hampden. It’s happening constantly in our league campaigns as well. And all this for a club that think officials are biased against them.
