The controversial moment, which saw the referee penalise Trusty after a challenge, has reignited debates over consistency and fairness in Scottish football officiating.
Carragher, visibly frustrated, argued that the decision was far too lenient and damaging to the game’s flow. “That’s never a foul,” he said. “Trusty went for the ball — there was minimal contact. Decisions like this are ruining the intensity of top-level matches.” His comments sparked an immediate reaction from Sutton, who leapt to the referee’s defence.
Sutton firmly disagreed, insisting the referee made the right call. “Carragher’s being harsh,” he said. “That tackle was reckless. You can’t go in with that force and expect to escape punishment.”
Their debate quickly went viral, with fans across social media weighing in on both sides. Rangers supporters accused officials of bias, while Celtic fans argued that safety and rules must come first. The fiery pundit exchange has added another chapter to the ongoing scrutiny of refereeing standards and VAR decisions in the Scottish game.
