Why was Cyriel Dessers’ handball before Rangers’ goal not given because Hearts were’screaming’ and IFAB guidelines were cited?

The claimed handball by Rangers forward Cyriel Dessers prior to one of his goals against Hearts, according to Richard Foster, was “accidental.”

Furthermore, the former Ibrox star maintains that referee Nick Walsh and Don Robertson in the VAR room made the correct decision in refraining from interfering when Philippe Clement’s team was running wild at Ibrox in the afternoon. The Light Blues hammered Steven Naismith’s team 5-0 to increase their lead atop the Scottish Premiership; nevertheless, there was some debate regarding the Dessers’ double.

Despite being positioned by his flanks, Dujon Sterling’s cross into the box first looked to come off the Nigerian international’s arm. Subsequently, the ball was played over the six-yard line, and the attacker outwitted the Hearts defense to go past Zander Clark. Foster was keen to clarify that the 29-year-old didn’t mean the initial contact when meeting Sterling’s ball in when he was questioned about a possible handball on BBC Sportscene.
