Scottish FA head of refereeing Willie Collum says the Premiership does not have "a handball problem", while admitting one error cost Livingston against Rangers. Collum was speaking on the governing body's latest VAR Review,, external which highlighted five handball incidents, including the non-award of a spot-kick at Ibrox after Tete Yengi's shot hit Rangers defender Emmanuel Fernandez's arm. Former Fifa referee Collum recognised a penalty should have been awarded in that instance but said other incidents at Tannadice, the Falkirk Stadium, Tynecastle and Easter Road were called correctly. "We're quite content that our match officials are applying the criteria correctly with the exception of [the incident at Ibrox]," said Collum.
