Scottish refs chief Willie Collum highlights two wrong decisions

Officials got two major decisions wrong in the opening four weeks of the new season, Scottish FA head of referees Willie Collum has conceded.

And he was also critical of referee Matthew MacDermid’s body language in the lead up to what he believes was a correctly awarded League Cup goal scored by Rangers’ Cyriel Dessers against St Johnstone.

Collum highlighted eight controversial incidents in The VAR Review, a new monthly show on the Scottish FA’s YouTube channel.

He concluded that Celtic should have been awarded a penalty in their 4-0 win over Kilmarnock, while Dundee United ought to have had a spot-kick for hand ball in their 2-2 draw with Dundee – both on the opening weekend.

But Collum, who assumed the role during the summer, said he was “content with the start we’ve made”.

He added: “We realised very quickly we had to improve on-field decision making and decision making in the VOR .

“We feel our referees, our assistants, our match officials and VARs have made a step in the right direction. Obviously we still see room for improvement.”
