Glasgow Rangers and Scotland legend McCoist replied: "Piers, I'm going to say to you, your verdict on VAR is driving me crazy! However, I think the key words are clear and obvious, now I don't think any of them – and I genuinely believe it – are clear and obvious."<\/p>\n

"We support the ongoing efforts of Chief Refereeing Officer, Howard Webb and would welcome working together to achieve the world-class officiating standards our league demands."<\/p>\n
