Rangers head coach Danny Rohl has called for most consistency from Scottish Premiership referees.

Officiating has been a hot topic this season with a number of high profile incidents clubs have taken umbrage this week. They came to prominence again this week with huge controversy at Motherwell as Celtic were awarded their late penalty for apparent handball.

Rangers have led the way in trying to campaign for improvements, calling for other clubs to agree to a summit to discuss refereeing.

There have been talks with the Scottish FA and the referring department and the Ibrox boss was asked about that in his press conference today.



The Rangers boss says the most important thing is for the officials to achieve more consistency in their decision making - both across a 90 minutes and game-to-game.

He said: "Yeah, I think in general it's a big topic at the moment. I will not compare them with us, but we speak about consistency across all performances. We need this over 45, not 45, 90 minutes, game by game.

"I think the most important thing for the new season is that we have consistency, also with decision-making on the pitch. I think this is the most important thing, because you see some similar situations.

"Like I said after the Celtic game, our decision with the offside or not offside, you see a similar situation. There is no offside, you see some fouls, you see some decisions in the box. I think it's about consistency, and this is what we have to work for and what we have to improve also for the league."
