'I've seen them given'... Sky Sports duo react to VAR decision Rangers got away with against Dundee
Yesterday at 05:15 PM
Rangers away struggles continued against Dundee with the concession of an early goal that is symptomatic of their misadventures on their travels.
Philippe Clement must be wondering what to do with a defence that continues to make life hard for itself with the manager unable to do little about the panic that seems to set in against any attack.
It could have been worse for Rangers in the first half too after Clinton Nsiala collided with the strangely fragile Simon Murray.
Did Rangers get away with Dundee penalty call?
Referee Greig Aitken waved away complaints before the Light Blues went up the other end of the park and levelled the scores through Vaclav Cerny.
Providing the half-time analysis on Sky Sports, Chris Sutton and Kris Boyd were asked what they thought of the incident and whether or not Dundee should have had the chance to go further in front:
"It's a coming together, it would have been ridiculously harsh," said Sutton, to which Boyd replied, "I've seen them given," before agreeing that this was more to do with the officiating in Scotland, rather than it actually being a penalty kick.
It was the correct call with Nsiala not challenging directly for the ball and standing his ground with Murray.
The Dundee forward is one of the most physical and athletic strikers in the league but threw himself to the ground for the second time in the game.
How did Nsiala perform for Rangers on his debut?
It was a difficult game for Nsiala to be thrown into for his debut given his opposite number and the other players that were missing from the defence and midfield.
What didn't help his cause was Robin Propper not trusting him and constantly attacking the same ball or getting too close rather than concentrating on his own job.
All this did was lead to the sort of panic that saw VAR having to intervene and Rangers fans sweating, again.
A 20-year old should never look more composed on their debut than a 31-year old captaining the team though.
