DERMOT GALLAGHER has delivered his own verdict on Rangers' VAR calls from the weekend.
The Sky Sports News Ref Watch presenter examined decisions from all games in the Scottish Premiership this morning.
Rangers were awarded a penalty for an Aberdeen handball by Jayden Richardson after a VAR check. On the incident, Gallagher said: "If you see the guy, he puts his arm out and I think he actually moves his hand to the ball as well. It's almost like he doesn't expect the ball to bounce up.
"It does (bounce off his leg) but the difference is his arm wasn't there, his arm moves to the ball. I think that's why the referee probably thought it came off him but the VAR said he's actually moved towards the ball."
Alfredo Morelos had a goal chopped off before scoring and Gallagher insists referee Nick Walsh got both calls spot on.
He added: "(First goal) It was given offside on the pitch and VAR confirmed offside. It's very, very tight but correct.
"(The second one) is interesting because Morelos thinks he's offside. But when you see it, he isn't, he's actually behind the ball. He's onside."
