Dundee manager Tony Docherty has blasted the “bizarre” moment which saw Kevin Clancy play a helping hand in Rangers 4th goal at Dens Park.
The Gers are celebrating a comprehensive five goal Scottish Premiership victory over Dundee in a match which saw a series of frustrating delays before kick off.
Not only was the weather potentially set to abandon the game, but Rangers were held up reaching Dens Park due to an accident on the road.
Visiting Gers fans then caused further delay after a series of pyrotechnic flares where lit in the stands when the match eventually kicked off 45 minutes later than initially planned.
Speaking after the game, Dundee manager Docherty has been discussing the build up to the 4th goal, where Dundee were left incensed after Kevin Clancy appeared to block Paul McGowan.
Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers then raced free and finished with aplomb and Tony Docherty claims it’s the most “bizarre” goal he’s ever seen.
”I don’t understand why there can’t be a rule for that,” Tony Docherty told Sky Sports. “If that’s a Rangers player he’s impeded our player.
“The referee has actually fouled out player and because of the player’s reaction they run through and score.
“It’s one of the most bizarre goals I’ve ever seen and then the explanation I got for it is even more bizarre.
“It’s not the reason we got beat tonight but it certainly did exacerbate things and I just don’t understand, why there’s not a lot against that.
When pressed on what the refereeing team had told him about the incident Docherty said: “The fourth official told me that unless he touches the ball they can’t then go to VAR and bring it back again.
“When I’ve asked (the refereeing team) said yes he did impede the player but he can’t do anything about it, which I don’t understand.”
