VAR operates at 'different levels for different teams'

Another defeat but one we can take lots of positives from.

Taking a point at Ibrox is a very rare thing for us and so is getting a penalty. There is no dodging it, we were denied a clear and obvious spot-kick.

The handball was obvious in real time so I have no idea why VAR didn't get involved.

David Martindale was right to call it out after the game, but it will change nothing. Midweek apologies are useless.

One of the things I enjoyed most when we played in the Championship was the absence of VAR.

You knew to celebrate if it was a goal, you knew that if the referee didn't see something then the game played on and there was no endless dissecting of decisions. Life was simpler and dare I say better.

We do have it in the top flight but it seems it operates at different levels for different teams.

Performance wise we played well at Ibrox. We prevented Rangers having it all their own way and even mounted a few good attacks.

It wasn't our usual two banks of five, we had a go and gave Rangers problems. We can go into this weekend's game against Aberdeen with confidence and strong hope of three much-needed points.
