In today’s thrilling Old Firm match, Rangers were allegedly denied a clear penalty by former referee Steve Conroy.
Conroy is convinced that when Alistair Johnston, under pressure from Abdallah Sima, took the ball out of play with his right hand, Phillipe Clement’s team should have been awarded a spot kick.
Sima was offside, according to Sky Sports, so the handball could not stand. However, Conroy is pointing out that VAR is unable to intervene in an offside scenario in order to look for a penalty.

“Rangers have been robbed of the chance to level the game with a penalty kick,” Conroy said to https://4231SPORT.COM. It was obviously a penalty.
“Offside doesn’t matter. Only in the event of a consequence, such as a goal, can VAR check for offside. It wasn’t there.
“Willie Collum is present to determine if a hand ball occurred or not.
“The telling situation is that, instead of an indirect free kick, which would have occurred if the offside had been awarded, the game was restarted with a goal kick.”
