“Rangers were CHEATED by the Officials” – Frustrated Barry Ferguson Claims Rangers Were ROBBED by Ref and VAR to SAVE Celtic from Third Derby Embarrassment – Furious Kris Boyd Breaks Silence After Controversial Ibrox Drama”

Irritated Barry Ferguson has asserted that Rangers “didn’t gain much” from the match officials during their stalemate with Celtic.

The Light Blues had to accept a draw against the Scottish Premiership titleholders after Adam Idah’s second-half goal equalized following Cyriel Dessers’ initial strike at Ibrox.

It was a match filled with events after Andrew Dallas in the VAR room stepped in to disallow a goal by Nicolas Raskin for offside – while Idah’s goal was upheld by the team in Clydesdale House after initially being ruled out by the linesman.

However, the primary point of discussion arose after Callum McGregor’s confrontation with Ianis Hagi in the penalty area.

Viljami Sinisalo thwarted Nicolas Raskin – before Hagi tried to seize the rebound on the edge of the six-yard box.

However, Celtic captain McGregor applied pressure on the Romanian midfielder to prevent him from taking a shot at goal.

Ferguson and his coaching staff were observed arguing with the fourth official as Hagi received medical attention following the incident in the penalty box.

And when questioned about the controversy by Sky Sports, the interim manager said: “The way I look at it is if that is in the middle of the pitch, that is a foul.

“But look, we didn’t get much today so I will just leave it at that.”

But Ferguson’s former Ibrox colleague Kris Boyd dismissed the argument put forward by Ferguson.

He maintains that Hagi was seeking contact – and even commended referee Walsh and the VAR team.

Following Ferguson’s interview, Boyd stated: “He gets his foot in and then plans that he is not getting it.

“He then stabs his left foot through to try and initiate the contact, but for me it’s not a penalty kick.

“For VAR, and even Nick Walsh, I thought there wasn’t a lot of nasty challenges or people getting carried away.

“It was only in the latter stages that there was a couple of bookings. I think for the officials and VAR, it was a pretty decent day and it’s not very often you say that.”
