"Collum was speaking on the governing body's latest VAR Review,, external which highlighted five handball incidents, including the non-award of a spot-kick at Ibrox after Tete Yengi's shot hit Rangers defender Emmanuel Fernandez's arm. He admitted a penalty should have been awarded in that instance but said other incidents at Tannadice, the Falkirk Stadium, Tynecastle and Easter Road were called correctly."
""This is an error. The VAR is also disappointed with the decision on reflection. "This is a punishable handball, the arm is far too outstretched from the body and we need to get that right, we need that to be picked up, we need it to be identified. "We need the VAR team to use the criteria here to come to the right conclusion. This is the kind of mistake that we want to eradicate.""
The VAR Review highlighted five handball incidents across Scottish Premiership fixtures. One clear error at Ibrox involved Tete Yengi's shot striking Emmanuel Fernandez's arm and should have resulted in a penalty; Rangers won the match 2-1 after the score had been 1-1. Other incidents at Tannadice, the Falkirk Stadium, Tynecastle and Easter Road were judged to have been called correctly. The VAR team acknowledged disappointment over the Ibrox decision and described the arm as far too outstretched to be non-punishable. A late Rangers penalty for a Will Ferry foul on Max Aarons was also deemed correct.
