My take: the ball hitting a hand is not always a handball offence. You have to either 1.) deliberately touch the ball with your hand, or 2.) ball hits your hand/arm when it's made your body unnaturally bigger. This isn't deliberate, and if the ball hits his hand - which is on his forehead in the middle of a normal footballing challenge - he hasn't made his body unnaturally bigger. Because the ball would have hit his head anyway, so his hand on his head does not make his body unnaturally bigger. Furthermore, VAR can only recommend an on-field review for a clear and obvious error. There is only one camera angle available, which does not show that the referee has missed a clear and obvious error. We can't see clearly where the ball hits. This is categorically not what VAR was brought in for, and it all needs ripped up in the summer. This is a really poor look for Scottish football, as you can see from the international condemnation online since the game. You really have to feel for Hearts. Unless you're a Celtic fan of course, that must have been class. But if you're not a Celtic fan. Deary me. Could be a generation defining decision, never mind season defining!

This is the best thing I've ever seen from a referee 👏

Officials, thankfully, taking the "goalkeepers are a protected species" to new levels at Ibrox tonight 🤣

Man, it would be truly shite if we lost that 5th European spot. St. Mirren with their first European tie in 37 years last season, United fans getting this trip to Vienna against the team they knocked out of the EUROPEAN CUP Quarter Finals 40 years ago!

Super finish from Braga. Free kick clearly taken in the wrong place & commentators are insisting VAR checked and cleared it. VAR cannot intervene for faulty restarts of play (e.g. foul throw or ball in the wrong place) This was purely on the referee

"Looks out of play, agree?" From the same official that said "more outside, agree?" when referring to a foul in the box in the League Cup Final If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. Use of VAR needs overhauled in the summer, surely

A lot of taking the piss out of Collum for yesterday's videos; getting aviation experts in to train the VAR team. But actually, it's a good idea & exactly what the EPL did for their referees two years ago. Some of the VAR comms last season were really poor - this could help.

The last time Scotland qualified for a World Cup, Belarus finished bottom of their qualifying group with 8 losses from 10 games. Scotland won the away match 1-0, with a 49th minute penalty. We'd qualify finishing 2 points ahead of pot 1 side Sweden. 3 points all that matters

🚨🆕 UEFA will enter discussions with FIFA & IFAB to decide whether the "double tap" rule should be reviewed - for cases where a double touch is clearly unintentional, after Alvarez had his penalty ruled out by VAR last night. 🎥 UEFA also released a video proving the two touch
