Former referee Bobby Madden insists Rangers defender Emmanuel Fernandez should have seen red in Sunday’s Glasgow derby win - but admitted VAR were helpless in the controversial incident. But ex whistler Madden took to Instagram to explain that John Beaton should have flashed a second yellow at Fernandez but admitted Nick Walsh at Clydesdale House couldn’t get involved as it was only a bookable offence. He said: “Fernandez, who was cautioned in the fourth minute, committed this offence in the 16th minute of the game. If we look at this situation in isolation, the attacker plays the ball beyond Fernandez and you can see that this is a clear promising attack. “Listed within the cautions for unsporting behaviour is stopping a promising attack. During the match, the referee did not award a free-kick for this offence. If he had, the yellow card for stopping a promising attack should have been issued. We need to remember that VAR cannot get involved with issuing a second yellow card.”
