The Story in 60 Seconds

Pundit Tim Sherwood claimed Rangers forward Kevin Kelsy knew he committed a handball offense before scoring against Kilmarnock. Kelsy appeared to handle the ball on the ground after losing his footing before scoring past Callum Ferrie to double Rangers' lead in a 3-1 victory. Following a check by VAR Grant Irvine, the goal was officially allowed to stand.

On Sky Sports' Ref Watch, former referee Dermot Gallagher stated he could not be certain from footage whether the ball struck Kelsy's hand. In contrast, Sherwood argued that the striker was fully aware of the infringement. The segment also reviewed Celtic's 2-0 win over Motherwell, where Lukas Fadinger avoided conceding a penalty despite a possible handball.
