Nectarios Triantis and John Souttar clashed, leading to a VAR review and punishment.

After Rangers were given a penalty during their match, Hibs have attacked them, sending analyst Michael Stewart into a tailspin.

Nectarios Triantis leapt to head a corner away from danger as the Scottish Premiership match remained goalless, but he collided with Ibrox defender John Souttar, who was attacking the ball. Play on was first signaled by referee David Dickinson, but Andrew Dallas in the VAR room moved the guy in the middle to the pitchside monitor. A spot-kick would be given, which prompted a sly jab from the Hibs social media staff. They shared:”Rangers are penalized. Who was in charge of the 20 minutes?” But Scott Wright would swat in the rebound after James Tavernier’s 12-yard attempt was saved.

Wright’s goal would be disallowed for encroachment after another fast-fire VAR review, since he seemed to have a foot in the box when Tavernier scored his penalty. Stewart, furious, told BBC Sportsound of the decision to punish the Hibs player, saying, “That is nonsense.”

“Well, there was a bump, but it wasn’t a penalty kick. Give up if you are penalizing someone for that! Triantis is attempting to jump for the ball as it is flying past his head, but he is being booked and given a yellow card. That is absurd. He will feel unfairly treated. The issue is that, even though there is a danger involved, no one has to bear the blame if you believe that to be a penalty kick. He is attempting to head the ball as there is a coming together.”
