Robbie Savage and Chris Sutton clashed over the contentious penalty call made by referee John Beaton during the Rangers vs Celtic clash. In a heated debate on BBC 606, Savage defended Beaton’s decision to award Rangers a penalty after VAR intervened following a challenge on Fabio Silva by Alistair Johnston. Despite Sutton’s insistence that it was the wrong call, Savage remained adamant that the penalty was the right decision as he praised the game as a thrilling watch for neutrals. The level of contact made by Johnston on Silva has sparked debate among pundits, with Sutton questioning if VAR should have intervened at all. While Sutton argued that there was not enough contact to warrant a penalty, Savage maintained his stance that it was a clear and obvious decision. The two pundits continued to go back and forth, with Savage pointing to multiple camera angles that showed the contact, while Sutton argued that Silva was already on his way down. In the end, both pundits stood their ground, unable to come to a consensus on the controversial call.
