Michael Stewart has slammed the officiating during Rangers' 3-3 draw with Celtic.
Glasgow's big two took part in a pulsating stalemate at Ibrox this afternoon with the goals flowing in the second half.
Celtic had a 2-0 lead at half time after goals from Daizen Maeda and Matt O'Riley in the first.
However, James Tavernier and Abdallah Sima scored, as it looked like Philippe Clement's team had secured a 2-2 draw.
Adam Idah had other ideas though, as he struck low beyond Jack Butland a matter of seconds later, to send the Celtic dugout into wild celebrations, with victory just minutes away.
But Rabbi Matondo scored with a beautiful curling effort deep into stoppage time, as the game finished 3-3.
The game passed without any real incident in the first half, however, John Beaton and VAR came under scrutiny in the second.
The on-field referee initially booked Fabio Silva for a dive inside Celtic's box when VAR interevned to review the tackle by Alistair Johnston, which was eventually overturned and Rangers were awarded a penalty.
Rangers, moments later, then had a goal disallowed from Cyriel Dessers after Tomoki Iwata was fouled in the build-up.
Former Hearts and Hibernian midfielder Michael Stewart was blessed than enamoured with what he saw from Beaton and the rest of his officials on the day, including Nick Walsh on VAR duty.

And he's taken to social media to heavily criticise their involvement in the powderkeg clash, but stopped short of pinpointing certain instances.
He wrote on X: "The officiating is embarrassing our game. They’ve impacted the result in the biggest game of the season. Disgraceful."
Rangers now have a game-in-hand to play over Celtic when they travel to Dundee on Wednesday night.
Today's result means the Premiership table is 'as you were' at the summit, with Brendan Rodgers' side holding a slender one-point advantage.
So, if Rangers can claim victory in the City of Discovery, they will go two points ahead of their arch-rivals heading into the post-split fixtures.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
