Dean Cornelius had a goal ruled out wrongly against Hearts Rangers were denied a legitimate goal, Hearts should have had one disallowed in the same game, and both Celtic and Hibernian were wrongly awarded penalties last weekend, according to the Scottish FA's review panel. The panel of former players, coaches and media representatives - plus individuals from the Scottish FA and clubs - delivered their latest assessment of VAR decisions in the Scottish Premiership on Friday. It deemed two key decisions were wrong in Hearts' 2-0 win at Ibrox last weekend - a result that has heaped more pressure on Rangers head coach Russell Martin. They unanimously agreed the VAR was incorrect not to intervene and ask referee Steven Mc Lean to review a handball by Lawrence Shankland in the build-up to Hearts' opener. And they also believe VAR should have suggested to Mc Lean that he was wrong to rule out Derek Cornelius' effort for a foul on goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow.

Hearts' win took them three points clear of Celtic, but the reigning champions moved back level on points the following day thanks to Kelechi Iheanacho's late penalty against Kilmarnock. John Beaton initially did not award a spot-kick when the ball struck defender Lewis Mayo's arm six minutes into stoppage time, but changed his mind after being sent to the monitor. However, the panel deemed the original decision was correct. Meanwhile, a majority of the panellists believed Hibs should not have been awarded the penalty that allowed Jamie Mc Grath to earn a 3-3 draw against Dundee United. Referee Dan Mc Farlane initially did not give the spot-kick, but reversed his decision after a VAR intervention - and sent off United's Vicko Sevelj for handball. United successfully appealed against Sevelj's red card at a fast-track tribunal on Tuesday.
