The whistler took charge of his second derby fixture after officiating his first game last season.
Don Robertson was the man in the middle as Rangers and Celtic met for the first time this season at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership.
Striker Cyriel Dessers broke free from the Celtic defensive line before squaring to his attacking teammate who subsequently knocked home high into the roof of the net. After reviewing the goal VAR urged the referee to watch the incident on his monitor and a free-kick was subsequently given. VAR rules state “a video assistant referee is a match official, with independent access to match footage, who may assist the referee only in the event of a ‘clear and obvious error’ or ‘serious missed incident’ in relation to: a. Goal/no goal b. Penalty/no penalty c. Direct red card d. Mistaken identity .” With this in mind, VAR were correct to intervene after the goal was scored.
Cantwell scythed down the speedy attacker on the half-way line and replays showed the decision was current. After viewing replays of the incident, Robertson’s decision looked the correct call. IFAB rules state “A penalty kick is awarded if a player commits a direct free kick offence inside their penalty area or off the field as part of play as outlined in Laws 12 and 13.”
