Jack Butland's Rangers blushes spared with two major VAR outcomes

Jack Butland’s blushes were spared twice by VAR during Rangers’ Scottish Premiership match against Motherwell. 

He allowed the ball to go straight in from a corner in the second half, however it was chalked off because of a foul. A decision that fairly irked the home supporters at Fir Park. 

Rangers legend Neil McCann described the outcome on Sky Sports by saying, "I don't think it was a clear & obvious error by Kevin Clancy. You could probably argue the case for Tony Watt, but I did feel his left arm was across Jack Butland. Still, it's unconvincing."(Image: Sky Sports) Then the Rangers goalkeeper made a mess of his attempts to stop Motherwell scoring a third goal minute's later.

The experienced shot-stopper has been out of sorts in recent games. This time, he allowed Motherwell forward Tony Watt to fire in after the Rangers defence failed to clear their lines. 

Referee Kevin Clancy awarded the goal. Yet, after a VAR check, the former Celtic youth star was denied his glory because teammate Dan Casey was in an offside position at the beginning of the move.
