Ex-English Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher thinks it was a 'great call' to rule out Rangers' first-half goal against Aberdeen on Sunday.
Barry Ferguson's men went two behind just before the break, although they thought they found a route back into the game earlier than they initially did, as Hamza Igamane struck late in first half stoppage time.
Findlay Curtis got to the byline and cut back for the Moroccan, only for the ball to have adjudged to have been out of play by the linesman on the far side.

The incident was put under the microscope on Sky Sports News' Ref Watch segment on Monday morning: "It's a great call from the assistant, considering he's on the other side of the pitch," said Gallagher.
"It's just out of play. Because it goes in the net, it goes to VAR, and it's just out of play. [It's a] great, great call."
Although the goal was disallowed, Rangers found a way back into the game in the second 45, as Igamane and Ianis Hagi both netted to ensure Ferguson's side returned to Glasgow with a point.
Their full focus is now on Thursday's Europa League quarter-final second leg with Athletic Club: "I am excited about going, but I'm also respectful," said Ferguson.
"It's going to be tough for us. As a footballer, as a manager, I'm excited about it. I'm excited about getting into that sort of atmosphere.
"What an opportunity we've got. The game's wide open. The main thing for me on Thursday night was making sure we were still in the tie. The guys deserved, with the performance, to still be in the tie.
"We'll go there on Thursday, having to know our jobs, what way we're going to play. We need to get it spot on. We do really need to get it spot on.
"Then that's up to me and the coaching staff to make sure we do it over Tuesday and Wednesday before we get into the game on Thursday."
