Following the Goldson altercation, Livingston’s new boy claims that Rangers’ goal was a sucker punch and should have been disqualified.

fresh signee David Carson maintains that Livingston’s 3-0 loss to Rangers was the result of a VAR farce, as evidenced by the

stud marks on his thigh from Connor Goldson’s challenge.

With “marks down his body” from the collision with the German defender during the build-up to the first goal for the hosts, the

defender, who made his debut for the Lions, has a small reminder from the trip to Govan.

In the fortyth minute of play, Goldson’s studs caught Carson in the box before the ball rebounded into the path of Fabio Silva,

breaking the tie.

The Lions were incensed when Rabbi Matondo added a second goal shortly after, adding salt to the wounds after a protracted

VAR review determined there was no case to answer and the goal stood.

Carson claims that the game depended on the contentious opening, even though Todd Cantwell completed the scoring 11

minutes into the second half.

“The first goal is a sucker punch,” he declared. I think that was the wrong choice.

“I consider that a foul. That depletes us of our filling. From that point on, there is always a mountain to climb.I’ve been hit hard.

I have dead leg, stud marks all over my body, and a thigh.

“It’s obvious that I’m going to approach the ball with my head on

Goldson is tall for his age. He just seems to miss my head, if anything.

“You see, after I touched the ball, I touched myself. It’s a foul, in my view.Although we were aware that it would be difficult, I

believe we performed quite well in the first half. We gave them only a few opportunities.”

“Yeah, I am,” he replied when asked if he was shocked that VAR had not disallowed the score. However, I am unable to decide.

They’ve succeeded.

“I chatted with the official. He had nothing to say to me about it.

“He just stated that they have already made the choice, and that is it.

“I’ve looked at it back and I can’t see why it’s not a foul.”

Livi will now try to snap their sad streak of 16 games without a victory when they play Kilmarnock on Wednesday night in a

pivotal match.

Despite having played two more games than Ross County, their current form has left them six points behind in the

Premiership; yet, Carson claims everyone at the Tony Macaroni Arena is optimistic.

He went on, “Everything about the place has a really positive vibe.”

“We simply need to finish this game swiftly and focus on Wednesday.For us, this game is enormous.

There are three points that we would want to take.

We are all in this together. We are aware of what has to happen for us to escape this predicament.

“We can also look at Ross County’s weekend loss as a win.”We’ve just got to go into Wednesday and try to close that gap and in

all the games we are now going into.”
