Dallas rejects Craven 'bullying' claims

Scottish referees supremo Hugh Dallas has issued a strong rebuttal of bullying allegations as the fallout from the penalty that never was continued today.

Dallas, the Scottish Football Association’s head of referee development, categorically denied the claims from Steven Craven, who quit the professional game following his involvement in Dougie McDonald’s decision to reverse a penalty award to Celtic.

And SFA chief executive Stewart Regan offered Dallas the governing body’s “unequivocal support” in the wake of Craven’s claims.
