The football world is buzzing after Rangers unveiled shocking new footage revealing why the referee chose not to issue a red card to Aberdeen’s K. Tobers during their recent heated clash. The decision, already controversial at the time, has reignited debates over refereeing standards and VAR usage in Scottish football. Fans across social media have expressed disbelief, with many claiming the footage clearly shows conduct worthy of a sending-off.
The incident in question appeared to involve a reckless challenge by Tobers, which, to the naked eye, seemed to endanger the safety of the opponent. However, the newly released footage provides an alternative angle, reportedly used by officials to justify their decision. According to sources close to the officiating team, this angle apparently showed mitigating factors—such as the point of contact or intent—that influenced the referee’s judgment.
While the footage might explain the decision, it has done little to quell fan frustration. Rangers supporters, in particular, feel that justice was not served, potentially impacting the outcome of the match. This situation underlines a growing demand for transparency and consistency in officiating. Until those concerns are fully addressed, moments like this will continue to fuel controversy and divide opinion in the Scottish game.
