Collum backs goal-line technology and in-stadium VAR announcements
Scottish FA head of referees Willie Collum says he would fully back the introduction of goal-line technology in the Premiership – and revealed talks have taken place over officials making in-stadium VAR announcements. One of the most controversial refereeing decisions of last season came on the final day when a Rangers 'goal' against Hibernian was not allowed because officials couldn't determine whether the ball had fully crossed the line at Easter Road. The decision came after a similar call in a Celtic match against Hibernian, where a goal for the champions was ruled out because it was ruled by the match officials that the ball had gone out of play before Alistair Johnston crossed for Daizen Maeda to score. Collum admitted in his VAR review show that officials had effectively guessed and couldn't be 100% certain the ball was out when they made the call. In the wake of the Easter Road incident, Rangers had called for goal-line technology to be introduced in Scottish football and Collum said that while it would not aid in all controversial line calls, it would be a benefit to his referees. 'We would be very open to it,' the refereeing chief told STV. 'We understand the financial constraints because goal line technology is very, very expensive. 'People might look at it and ask how often you would use it because, for example, the Hibs v Celtic decision, it wouldn't have helped. 'Certainly the Hibs v Rangers decision, it would have helped because that's a goalmouth decision. 'What I wouldn't say is that because we don't have one aspect of technology that we'll make excuses or say that it's impossible to call things. 'We want to make sure, even in the situations we find ourselves in, that we're always striving for improvement and looking for ways to improve. 'Of course any kind of technology that we could bring in that would help us or improve us, in terms of refereeing, we would be open to it. 'Whether it be goal-line technology, in-stadium communication either leaving the monitor or when there's a check going on for the people attending the matches in person.' No price has been put on introducing the goal-line system in Scottish football, and Collum insists it's not for him to pressure the clubs who would have to pay for it. 'That would be a decision outwith refereeing,' he said. 'It's not a decision we would make. 'We, of course, get financial support for VAR from the clubs so that would be a decision they would have to make. 'We would be in favour of goalline technology but it's not for me to decide how any finances are spent.' While that advance may still be some time away, another innovation may arrive at Scottish grounds sooner than expected. In-stadium announcements, where the referee is connected to the stadium's speaker system to explain VAR calls to supporters, has already been introduced at the top level, with some games in the English League Cup being used for a trial. Collum revealed that talks have already taken place about bringing in the change to deliver a better experience for fans. 'We've had discussions with the clubs about that,' he said. 'We would be very keen for that. 'It's another element of transparency. 'Some of the difficulty with VAR is the in-stadium experience. We think that would certainly support it. If there was a long check going on, the referee would be able to communicate that, and they could indicate the decision when leaving the monitor. You see it at the Club World Cup and other competitions. 'I'm always looking for the best product here in Scotland and I would support that. 'It's not simple but we would embrace any technology that's for the benefit of the game, the benefit of the product here in Scotland and for match officials and people involved in football. 'There's a possibility it could be this coming season. If we get the support from the clubs financially we would be able to implement that. 'We would need a period of time to train but I'm not going to rule that out.' For the time being, Collum is looking forward to the new season, after taking time to explain rule changes and interpretations to SPFL clubs, players and staff in recent weeks. As well as talking Premiership stars through the interpretation of the rules, he said he had also been listening to feedback to ensure a better understanding of footballers' opinions and perspective on decisions, to get a better understanding for his match officials. Among the new things fans, players and referees will be getting to grips with in the new season are three changes to the game. 'Double-touch' penalties will now be retaken if the player scores, with an indirect free-kick awarded to the defending team if the penalty is missed or saved. If referees touch the ball, they will hand a drop ball to the team who would have received it, rather than only resuming the game with possession to the last team that played the ball as was previously the rule. In the biggest change, and one that is to be strictly enforced, referees will now award a corner kick to the opposing team if a goalkeeper handles the ball for more than eight seconds. Collum feels that can only speed up the game and eradicate time-wasting, and feels just the existence of the rule will achieve that without referees needing to act often. 'We think it will make the game much quicker because the goalkeepers now are under pressure to release a ball,' he said. 'We'll have prepared our referees tactically for that as well, forgetting just about the decision-making, the eight seconds and punishing it. We also know there will be a lot of shorter balls at times in and around the penalty area. We need our referees to be well prepared for that. 'But, it's like any rule change, the clubs are aware of it. We've spoken to a lot of goalkeeper coaches who are saying they've already been coaching it, working at it. So, we don't think we'll see a great amount of issues with that.'

Mikey Moore to Rangers transfer work still to be done as Russell Martin in the thick of triple winger hunt
The Ibrox boss is looking to seriously beef up his wide options amid bid for Champions League progress Rangers are hopeful of securing a season-long loan deal for Spurs hit-kid Mikey Moore. The Ibrox club want the teenage winger, with gaffer Russell Martin and sporting director Kevin Thelwell keen to get it done. Record Sport understands there's still work to do as they look to capture the 17-year-old, as they've yet to get a green light from Tottenham gaffer Thomas Frank to let Moore go. The wide player - who became Spurs' youngest ever Premier League player a year ago - is rated as one of the UK's best talents. But Rangers believe they're in pole position to land Moore on loan and strengthen Martin's squad ahead of their Scottish Premiership opener against Motherwell on Saturday. As they prepare for Wednesday night's Champions League qualifying second-leg against Panathinaikos in Athens, the manager is looking to add to his squad. Gers are also in the hunt for £5 million rated Finnish winger Oliver Antman, who was back training with Dutch club Go Ahead Eagles. And they retain a concrete interest in Crystal Palace Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, who is wanted by Championship clubs down south. Martin is desperate to have strength in depth on the flanks, having already recruited Sheffield Wednesday flying machine Djeidi Gassama.

The slight mistake Celtic made for first time in two years
The Premiership champions had the worst defeat of their pre-season with a 5-1 drubbing at the hands of the Dutch giants, before going on to improve with a victory over Al-Ahli to finish third in the Como Cup. It followed impressive victories over teams of a similar stature - Sporting Lisbon and Newcastle. But the main concern would be the goals against tally reading five. Rodgers detailed the slight error his players made in conceding one of the goals. He likes his side to go man-for-man to begin with from goal kicks before dropping into a zonal system. However, in this instance, they stayed man-to-man for too long. Read more: He told Celtic TV: 'What we tend to do is we will, in some games, go in a static position from a goal kick, man-to-man. 'But while we are in the game, we will then go more to a zonal. We made a little mistake in the last game, where we stayed in our man-to-man for too long, which opened up a little bit too much space, especially towards the end of the game. 'We lost a game in our build-up phase, the third goal, which I said to the players, 'listen, that's the first goal we have conceded in build-up in over two years that I have been here, so to do that with the risk we put in the game to play our football, it's really good, so let us learn from it.' 'It isn't a structural thing. It's about positioning, getting there early, and we will be fine.'
