Rangers have demanded the introduction of goal-line technology after being denied a goal in a controversial season-ending 2-2 Scottish Premiership draw at Hibernian.
Barry Ferguson's side twice took the lead at Easter Road, thanks to goals from Cyriel Dessers and Nicolas Raskin, but on both occasions they were pegged back - initially in very controversial circumstances.
Kieran Bowie got Hibs' first equaliser, moments after Raskin thought he had scored before Rocky Bushiri cleared from under the crossbar.
Did the ball cross the line? Referee Nick Walsh and his on-field officials thought not, allowing play to continue and Hibs to move up field and score themselves.
And after confusing scenes while both 'goals' were checked, VAR Andrew Dallas ruled that there was no camera angle that proved Raskin's effort had gone in - much to Rangers' disgruntlement.
"Incidents like this again bring into question the effectiveness of VAR and also highlight the need to introduce goal-line technology in Scottish football," an Ibrox statement said.
"Our ers, players and staff deserve better. We will raise this with the Scottish FA and continue to press for initiatives which improve the accuracy of decision-making."
Martin Boyle would go on to score Hibs second leveller, connecting with a Nicky Cadden cross for his 20th goal this season in all competitions in a fine way to celebrate his new deal.
But Rangers could still have won it, if not for a couple of superb saves from Hibs' Jordan Smith, and the shot-stopper denying Dessers and Danilo.
The disputed decision to allow Hibs' first goal and deny Rangers a second will feel like salt in the wound in their worst season since 2018.
As for the hosts, they were still jubilant come the full-time whistle, singing Sunshine on Leith in apt weather conditions.
