VAR controversially ruled out a Celtic goal following what many described as “soft contact” on Rangers goalkeeper Ross Doohan. Celtic forward Daizen Maeda appeared to win a fair challenge before scoring, but after a lengthy VAR check, referee Nick Walsh disallowed the goal — sparking fury across the football world.
Supporters were left fuming online, branding it “the worst decision in a long time” and warning that “VAR and these officials are going to ruin the league.” Pundits also joined the backlash, questioning why such minimal contact was enough to cancel a crucial goal in one of Scotland’s biggest fixtures.
The Scottish FA later stood by the officials, claiming the whistle had blown before the goal was scored — but fans weren’t buying it. With tension boiling over, many are now demanding accountability and consistency, calling this one of the most baffling VAR moments yet in Scottish football.
