It was an eventful opening 45 minutes at Ibrox with checks for penalties given and turned down plus a red card.
It was an eventful afternoon at Ibrox as Rangers came from behind to respond to Celtic's title question.
But of course, as things are these days in Scotland's top flight, VAR always has a major say and it was no different in this contest. There were THREE big calls in this game with all coming in the first period for man in the middle David Dickinson and his team of officials in charge of the Sunday lunchtime battle to make key decisions over. Record Sport picks out the main flashpoints from Ibrox.
Kilmarnock opening goal Ten minutes later, the VAR officials were back in the spotlight as they checked a potential offside in the build-up to the opening goal. Matty Kennedy at the back post was played onside by James Tavernier before the ball struck the Rangers skipper and went in. Correct decision and the perfect start for Derek McInnes' men at Ibrox.
With the first check passing, it meant all eyes were on the referee and what the outcome would be as he went to the monitor. This time he pointed to the penalty spot with the Kilmarnock defender also handed a red card in a double blow for the visitors. However, Will Dennis stood tall and dived to his right to deny Rangers skipper Tavernier and keep his side in front in a frantic opening 20 minutes.
