adminSFA Under Fire as New Footage Sparks Moore Goal Controversy
The Scottish FA has been forced to address a growing storm of controversy after “new footage” emerged regarding Mikey Moore’s disallowed goal in Rangers’ 0-0 draw against Hibernian at Easter Road on February 1, 2026.
Initially, the 76th-minute strike was ruled out for a marginal offside after a VAR review. However, a fresh angle—reportedly captured by a tactical camera and leaked online—appears to show Moore was played onside by a trailing Hibs defender’s foot. The revelation has ignited a firestorm on social media, with fans demanding transparency over the lines used by the VAR officials.
”Conclusive Evidence” Claims
The SFA released a brief statement acknowledging the footage but stood by the original decision made by the match officials and the VAR hub.
”We are aware of the alternative footage circulating online,” the SFA statement read. “However, the VAR team utilized all available calibrated camera angles at the time of the incident to reach a definitive conclusion. We remain confident in the accuracy of the offside lines applied.”
The Impact on the Title Race
The fallout is particularly bitter for Rangers, as the two points dropped leave them trailing league leaders Hearts by six points.
The incident has reignited calls for Goal-Line Technology and higher-specification VAR cameras across the Scottish Premiership to avoid “shambolic” inconsistencies in high-stakes matches.
