Overview
- Celtic beat Rangers 3-1 after extra time at Hampden to advance to the Scottish League Cup final against St Mirren on December 14.
- The flashpoint saw Auston Trusty booked after his boot caught goalkeeper Jack Butland’s head, a decision VAR reviewed and upheld as a yellow.
- Rangers have contacted the SFA seeking clarity on why Trusty was not sent off, with Collum set to address the incident during the upcoming international break.
- Other key calls included Thelo Aasgaard’s straight red for a high challenge on Anthony Ralston and a late handball against Ralston that allowed James Tavernier to force extra time from the spot.
- Pundits largely agreed Aasgaard’s dismissal was correct and many deemed Trusty fortunate, as Tavernier and Ally McCoist questioned consistency while manager Danny Rohl declined to criticise the referee.
