Butland Criticizes Trusty Call in Cup Semi-Final, Warns of Precedent

Rangers say officiating explanations have not resolved their concerns.

Overview

  • In Sunday's Scottish League Cup semi-final at Hampden, Celtic beat Rangers 3-1 after extra time.
  • Auston Trusty's boot appeared to catch Jack Butland's head, referee Nick Walsh issued only a yellow card, and VAR did not intervene.
  • Butland said the decision was difficult to accept and warned it could set an unsafe precedent for goalkeepers.
  • The Rangers goalkeeper said he spoke to Walsh at half-time to seek clarity on the incident.
  • Rangers issued a statement saying they remain unsatisfied after talks with SFA refereeing officials, as Ref's View later highlighted a separate unreviewed penalty claim for Celtic.
