The Scottish FA’s key match incident panel has ruled that Rangers’ ‘ghost goal’ should have had a goal awarded in the 2-2 draw with Hibs at Easter Road in the final game of the season.
With Rangers leading 1-0 a Nico Raskin effort was cleared by Rocky Bushiri before
Hibs scored at the other end to equalise through Kieran Bowie after referee Nick Walsh allowed play to continue.
A video assistant referee (VAR) check decided that there was no conclusive proof that the ball had crossed the line although TV replays suggested that it had.
The KMI panel has now determined by a majority of four to one that the midfielder’s effort should have stood.
They ruled that VAR should have intervened and recommended a goal.
However, one member of the panel highlighted that they did not think there was conclusive evidence that the ball had crossed the line and a VAR intervention should not take place.
Rangers subsequently demanded the introduction of goal-line technology as a result of the controversial 17 May incident.
