Rangers face a Scottish FA sweat after John Brown's remarks on Rangers TV.
The former Rangers player branded Scottish football as "corrupt" after Nico Raskin was not awarded a goal against Hibernian.
The Ibrox midfielder appeared to have made it 2-0 at Easter Road as the balled looked to have crossed the goal-line, however, play continued as Hibs equalised at the other end.
BBC reports that VAR reasoning for not awarding the goal is there was a lack of a conclusive angle to judge whether the full ball was over the line.
Brown, though, was furious over the call as he launched into a rant while on co-commentary duties on Rangers TV.
"I would say it is corrupt," he said of the decision. 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."
Back in 2019, the Scottish FA compliance officer reviewed comments made by Tom Boyd on Celtic TV regarding referee John Beaton.
"If he doesn't know that's a penalty he should not be in the middle of the park refereeing a football game," Boyd said.
"He'll probably be welcomed down his pub tonight again."
A Celtic statement at the time read: "We have had absolutely no contact from the SFA in relation to this matter and, given the context and circumstances in which the comments were made, would be astonished if the matter were to be progressed. If it is, then we will respond robustly."
It is unclear if Brown's remarks will be reviewed by the Scottish FA.
Scottish FA article 29.2 reads: "A club or recognised football body which publishes, distributes, issues, sells or authorises a third party to publish, distribute, issue or sell a match programme or any other publication or audio/visual material of any description in any media now existing or hereinafter invented, including but not limited to the Internet, social networking or micro-blogging sites, shall ensure that any such publications or audio/visual material does not contain any criticism of any match official calculated to indicate bias or incompetence on the part of such match official or to impinge upon his character."

Rangers have already confirmed the flashpoint will be raised with the Scottish FA.
A Rangers spokesperson said: "Incidents like this again bring into question the effectiveness of VAR and also highlight the need to introduce goal-line technology in Scottish football.
“Our supporters, players and staff deserve better. We will raise this with the Scottish FA and continue to press for initiatives which improve the accuracy of decision-making."
"Baffling," Ferguson said when asked about the decision.
“I don’t want to get myself in trouble, but it was baffling. That’s all I can say. I saw it when it happened, watched it at half-time and at the end."
Asked if he'd consult Walsh for an explanation, he added: "What’s the point? Nick won’t speak. The fourth official was brand new but the referee wasn’t interested.
"It should be getting checked by VAR, that’s why we have it. It’s clearly over the line, so it was disappointing. But I’ve seen it all season, decisions like that. Not just with Rangers, in other games that I watch.
“That was mind-blowing today. It’s another reason why we need goalline technology. But you don’t need technology for that incident. It’s clear to see it’s over the line. It’s got to be up there with the worst I’ve seen."
