Ref Watch Team analyzes the decision to send Mohammed Diomanda to the challenge against Kevin Holt in the 3-1 Rangers victory against Dundee United
Incident: Rangers shrinked to 10 players in Dundee United. Mohamed Diamonde got a red color after the incident with Kevin Holt.
The judge was asked to look at him once more and stayed at his original decision, but was it enough for a direct red card? The head of Rangers Philippe Clement has already said that they would complain.
Dermot says: “I was surprised that the red card came out, and I was still surprised when the judge was sent to the screen that he remained at his original decision.
“This proves that all options are available if you go to the screen.
“Pushed him twice, then raises his hands? Does it connect with your face? Does he think he connects to his face?
“Another thing to remember, according to the law, is it brutal or malicious? This is not considered.”

The most interesting part of the Scottish Premiership match between Hearts and Kilmarnock
Incident: Coach Kilmarnock, Derek McInnes, was very dissatisfied with the introductory goal of Hearts.
He believed that Elton Kabangu was to offside.
Would this be checked?
Dermot says: “He was in offside position, but the ball goes to the attacker.
“Maybe he felt he interfered with the defender, but I think it's the other way around. The defensive player interferes with the attacker.
“It starts at offside position, but not going behind the ball. He wasn't active and didn't go towards the opponent. His opponent headed for him.”
