Scott McTominay's free kick will go down as one of the great disallowed strikes, but it shouldn't matter in the long term
It will either be a minor hiccup that’s laughed at in years to come, or Serdar Gozubuyuk will join Manuel Mejuto Gonzalez on the list of referees unlikely to ever holiday in Scotland. The Dutch official chalked off ’s free-kick goal in Thursday’s 2-0 defeat to after a VAR check that left Steve Clarke, his players and the Tartan Army bemused.
Offside made more sense, but whether Hendry’s movement towards the goalkeeper met the IFAB criteria on ‘interfering with an opponent’ was still highly subjective. He did not block Simon from seeing the ball at any point and the ball passed behind him, so he made no attempt to play it which could have delayed Simon’s actions.
