John Brown brands Scottish football 'corrupt' in jaw-dropping Rangers TV blast

John Brown has branded Scottish football as "corrupt" as he fumed over a decision in the Scottish Premiership match between Hibernian and Rangers.

The former Ibrox player was on Rangers TV co-commentary duties when he made the shock remark.

Brown was left aghast over the decision not to award Rangers a goal when Nico Raskin appeared to have doubled their lead to make it 2-0 in the first half.

Raskin had held off Rocky Bushiri as the ball looked to roll into the net. It was hooked clear by the defender, but replays have cast doubts over whether the ball was over the line.

Brown, furious at the decision, stated: "I would say it is corrupt."

Commentator Tom Miller said: "Well, I'm not sure we can actually say that.

Brown continued: "Well, I am saying it.

"That is a disgrace, and it is the worst decision I have seen in all the years I have been in football. Disgraceful."

According to the BBC, the explanation for the no goal decision comes as a result of "no conclusive evidence".

It's thought VAR had "no conclusive evidence/angle to say the ball had fully crossed the line to award Rangers a second goal".
