Rangers supporting referee 'didn't care if Tavernier scored or not' vs Kilmarnock as he fumes over VAR 'farce'

Former ref and Rangers fan Jeff Winter almost stormed OUT of Ibrox after just 20 minutes thanks to the Ibrox VAR "farce".

The extra-time for stoppages proved crucial as Silva levelled on the stroke of half-time and the Light Blues made their extra man count after the break, going on to win 4-1. But Winter revealed he was up for sacking it when Tavernier missed after becoming so fed up with VAR delays.
