James Tavernier was not allowed a penalty retake for Rangers during the clash with as he didn't beat David Marshall AND the VAR team felt no Hibs players were in the box.
Referee David Dickinson initially waved play on but Andrew Dallas in the VAR room sent the man in the middle to the pitchside monitor to review the incident - which allowed Tavernier the chance to score the opener. That was only the start of the drama as the captain was denied by the Easter Road No. 1 - before Scott Wright netted the rebound.
Many expected that Rangers would be allowed to retake the penalty - but Hibs were awarded a free-kick to restart the game. That falls in line with IFAB rules - with only penalties that are scored giving the attacking side a second chance.
