Referee David Dickinson would point to the penalty spot and Don Robertson in the VAR room opted against giving the whistler the chance to review the incident on the pitchside monitor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">That allowed <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/nedim-bajrami\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Nedim Bajrami<\/a> to step up and net a late leveller from 12 yards and rescue a point for the struggling Light Blues. However, Rohl felt the real talking point happened before Fatah found the net.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">The German boss felt that Ivan Dolcek had strayed into an offside position before whipping the cross towards the six-yard box. The resulting scramble would see Rangers clear the ball for a corner &#8211; which would eventually be cleared to Fatah who thumped the ball beyond Jack Butland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">He told Premier Sports: &#8220;I must say before the conceded goal, the 2-1, the corner should not be allowed. It was a clear offside position. This player is two metres offside, and then he can make the cross of the ball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">&#8220;I think this is also part of the story. I am not looking for excuses, but I can see what we did today. I was not a big step, because a big step is a win, but how we played today was much, much better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0_Screenshot-2025-12-03-at-223024.png\" alt=\"Dundee United's Ivan Dolcek is judged to be onside vs Rangers\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Dundee United&#8217;s Ivan Dolcek is judged to be onside vs Rangers<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">But watching the incident back, the Premier Sports punditry team played down the comment by the manager, Former Rangers defender Alan Hutton quickly corrected the boss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">He said: &#8220;That is very tight. That is not two metres. He did seem certain, but I thought it looked very tight.

You wouldn&#8217;t say that was a big mistake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">Follow <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Record Sport<\/strong> on <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Record_Sport\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"TwitterLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DailyRecordSport\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"FacebookLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dailyrecord_sport\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"InstagramLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Tune in to <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/watch-record-sport-hotline-live-33585614\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Hotline LiveLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Hotline Live<\/a> every Sunday to Thursday and have your say on the biggest issues in Scottish football and listen to Record Sport&#8217;s newest podcast, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/GameOnListen\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Game OnLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Game On<\/a>, every Friday for your sporting fix, all in bitesize chunks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The German boss wasn&#8217;t pleased by an offside snub in the build-up to Amar Fatah strike at Tannadice&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":611442,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[15304,76431,21842,94,125826,1946,1638,79,16,15,16263],"class_list":{"0":"post-611441","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-charlie-mulgrew","9":"tag-danny-rohl","10":"tag-dundee-united-fc","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-nedim-bajrami","13":"tag-rangers-fc","14":"tag-scottish-premiership","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-var"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115660823258132310","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/611441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=611441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/611441\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/611442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=611441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=611441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=611441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
