TONY Watt was adamant Scottish football was still better off without VAR (Video Assistant Referee) last month despite Motherwell being knocked out of the Scottish Cup after Jackson Irvine of Hibernian had scored an offside goal in the quarter-final at Easter Road. “That’s life,” said Watt with a wry smile and a shrug of his shoulders after Graham Alexander’s side had been edged out in a penalty shoot-out. “What can we do? If it’s offside, it’s offside. You win some, you lose some. It’s just what happens. That’s football. You don’t want VAR do you?”

Veteran Rangers star Steven Davis has paid tribute to Gers number one Allan McGregor after his man of the match performance in yesterday’s Old Firm win over Celtic.
McGregor pulled off a string of impressive saves before denying Odsonne Edouard from the penalty spot as Rangers secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup win a 2-0 win.
While Davis doesn’t think referee Bobby Madden made the right decision to point to the spot, the Northern Irishman was delighted when McGregor stepped up to save Edouard’s penalty and record his fourth penalty save in Old Firm clashes.
