VAR LINES ARE A GRAY AREA

DAVID GRAY insists his Hibs players are to blame for their failure to beat Livingston - and not the officials.

The Easter Road boss was aggrieved that Kieron Bowies effort - which would have made it 3-1 - was chopped off for offside by video ref Andrew Dallas.

He then watched on in frustration as another call went against him in injury time, with sub Graham Carey rescuing a point from the spot after VAR flagged up a Nicky Cadden handball.

Hibs had gone ahead after just 17 seconds through Jamie McGrath before Jeremy Bokila levelled things up.

Martin Boyle restored the lead in the second half before the late drama unfolded.

And Gray said: “I'm not going to moan about officials because I don't think we were good enough. If Kieron makes it three it’s different but I don't want to contradict what I said.

“It needs to be explained where they've drawn the lines and why they drew the lines the way they have - because it looks pretty onside to me.

“But at the same time, it’s a factual thing. The technology we use, whether it’s good enough, I don’t know. But I'm not going to moan about it.
