Thompson ‘baffled’ by Nick Walsh controversy in Rangers v Celtic

Adam Idah, however, scored just before the hour mark to guarantee that the points were shared at the Ibrox.

The game could have gone either way at many points, but Rangers lost their last six games across all competitions.

However, Rangers had a strong shout for a penalty right before the end, and Ianis Hagi wriggled into the Celtic box before being brought down.

This caused a huge roar from the Rangers bench and supporters who were certain they were entitled to a penalty.

However, referee Nick Walsh swiftly waved these protests away following a brief VAR check, and the game ultimately ended 1-1.

Sutton said that the challenge wasn’t a penalty, and many people thought it was fair.

But according to former Rangers player Steven Thompson, the team ought to have had a spot kick and an opportunity to win the game.

He said, “That’s a penalty kick,” to BBC Sportsound. It seems like a penalty kick to me at first glance. Hagi will get on to the ball when it breaks in the box, and he will spin to the deck.

Rangers can consider themselves unlucky because they did win all three points, even if the game finished in a tie.

Ferguson’s team was outstanding in the first half and should have led Celtic by more.

The visitor’s goal was fortunate because it was initially ruled offside but was overturned by VAR.

Despite recent criticism, the team put up a strong show in the derby and deserved to win the game.

Now, they need to defeat Aberdeen the following weekend to put an end to their awful winless streak.

Good performances are only worth anything if they can be followed up with wins, and that is now Ferguson’s Rangers’ difficulty.
