The Scottish FA's Key Match Incident Panel has weighed in on three key decisions that went against Rangers versus Heart of Midlothian last weekend.
Russell Martin's men fell to a 2-0 defeat at Ibrox as Lawrence Shankland's brace proved crucial. In the build-up to his first goal, the Hearts striker appeared to handle the ball.
The KMI Panel unanimously agreed that he did, and that the goal shouldn't have stood.
"The panel unanimously agreed that the on-field decision was incorrect," guidance read. "The panel highlighted VAR was incorrect not to intervene to recommend an OFR and the goal should have been disallowed for a handball in the APP."

Rangers then thought they had equalised in the second half through Derek Cornelius, only for the goal to be disallowed for a foul on Hearts keeper Alexander Schwolow.
The majority of the KMI Panel agreed that it should've stood.
The SFA website read: "The majority (2:1) of the panel deemed the on-field decision of foul on the goalkeeper to be incorrect.
"Two panel members felt a VAR intervention should have taken place and the goal should have stood following an OFR. One panel member felt that the onfield decision was correct and VAR was correct not to intervene."
Finally, Hearts were awarded a late penalty as Mohamed Diomande fouled Harry Milne in the box.
"The majority (2:1) of the panel deemed the on-field decision of penalty kick being awarded correct," guidance read.
"One panel member felt that VAR should have intervened and recommended an OFR for an overturn of the penalty kick."
