Watch the Connor Goldson handball assist that VAR decided to overlook

Straight away there was something suspicious about it.

The header across his own goal from an Aberdeen defender was horrendous but the ball wasn’t going into the path of Scott Arfield.

Connor Goldson knew it, he raised his right arm, lent forward and cushioned the ball towards Arfield with his arm.

In these situations VAR comes into its own, a detached look at the incident, the contact the entire build up with the benefit of all cameras from Sky Sports.

With Arfield over celebrating with supporters, Sky Sports commentary team screaming the odds about EPL levels of stoppage time drama Greg Aitken decided not to turn party pooper. Willie Collum certainly wasn’t going to risk another absence from Ibrox pay days.

The goal stood, the match was won, now everyone can look on excitedly towards Dingwall on Friday for more of the same with Ross County the next victims.
