VAR studies help Wasps pass title test
Daily Record

ALLOA were given a crash course in VAR before their Ibrox showdown handed them a punishing lesson.
But goal hero Scott Taggart reckons their gutsy Premier Sports Cup display against Rangers proves the Wasps are serious about buzzing up into the Championship.
Andy Graham's League One side experienced the tech for the first time in Saturday's last-16 clash.
SFA bosses sent officials to give the part-timers a crash course ahead of their trip to Glasgow - but the real test came during the match.
Sub Cam O'Donnell was judged to have handled as he tried to block Oscar Cortes from tapping into an empty net - and after a lengthy VAR check the spot-kick was given.
James Tavernier made no mistake to fire Rangers 3-1 ahead, after Joe Rothwell's own goal had briefly brought Alloa level between strikes from Nedim Bajrami and Manny Fernandez.
