Rangers legend Ally McCoist has not held back in his criticism of the decision to disallow Abdallah Sima's goal in the Scottish Cup final, describing it as 'scandalous' on talkSPORT.
He gave the match officials at Hampden Park a roasting and condemned the 'incompetence' of those who officiated the final against Celtic last weekend.
While McCoist can concede that Joe Hart might have been pushed, he insists that if the VAR crew had reviewed the two previous seconds of footage, they'd have to give a penalty to Philippe Clement's team.
McCoist didn't mince words during his talkSPORT appearance, saying: "Jeff, scandalous. Honestly but I have come to expect it.
"The incompetence of our officials is nothing short of ridiculous. It is bordering on embarrassing to tell you the truth.
"They disallowed the goal for a shove. OK, there may be a little shove and I can understand that but they go back two seconds and they've got to give a penalty.
"The guy has his arms wrapped around the guy who eventually does the little shove.
"It is just total incompetence Jeff, but we've come to accept it and that is the way it goes."
The final at Hampden Park was a hot topic of discussion as Celtic clinched the prestigious trophy with a last-minute goal.
