The Scottish FA have admitted "some decisions will be wrong" amid the fallout from the Premier Sports Cup final as Rangers were denied a penalty against Celtic.

SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell has responded to Rangers' claims they should have been awarded a spot-kick in extra time during Sunday’s final at Hampden Park.

Speaking on Wednesday morning, Maxwell was asked about the flashpoint.

He said: "Decisions will be wrong, that's a given. We'll eradicate them as much as we possibly can. We've done that in the vast majority of cases, but there are always going to be one or two that will fall outwith that, because there's people involved.

"Anything that involves a person in any walk of life, there will be decisions made that don't go the way we want them to, or are incorrect. That's just part of human nature."

There has been major backlash over the failure to award a penalty to Rangers in extra time of Sunday's Cup final defeat to Celtic after Vaclav Cerny was fouled by Liam Scales.

The Rangers winger was pulled down by the Celtic defender with replays showing Cerny's foot was on the line of the penalty area when he was fouled.

VAR did not intervene when referee John Beaton awarded Rangers a free-kick after failing to spot the infringement had occurred on the 18-yard line.

According to IFAB laws, a penalty should have been awarded. Law 12 states: "If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick."

New Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart demanded answers from the Scottish FA on his first day in the job on Monday.

Sunday's Cup final VAR duo Alan Muir and Frank Connor have not been assigned matches this weekend following the controversy.
