The incident is expected to be scrutinized on the Scottish FA's monthly VAR Review Show – led by referee Willie Collum – with the show being filmed this week.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement was left devastated after his side lost on penalties to Celtic in the League Cup final
Rangers leader Philip Clement after losing to Celtic:
“I don't know if you've seen the images back, but my phone is full of the penalty situation with Cerny.
“Of course, he (the referee) cannot see that moment. But he didn't get communication from the VAR to come and look at the screen, which is a very strange situation for me. At least there is no look at that type of situation in this type of game, about the situation that the referee can make a decision in that way.
“I didn't see it at the time because I still have good eyes, but I can't see that distance if the foot is outside or inside or on the line.
“So no, but my phone is full of messages from everyone. I don't know. So those are things I can't control.
“I know everyone (the media) likes to dive deep into things so maybe it's an important time to dig into that. Why is there no discussion at the moment about such a big decision because it is clear to everyone that it is a game. decision decision.”
