Dynamo Kiev v Rangers VAR officials 'arrested' for stealing road sign while drunk and stripped of match duties
The Ibrox club face the Ukrainian side in Poland in the Champions League third qualifying round first leg
The VAR officials for Rangers' Champions League with Dynamo Kiev have reportedly been replaced by UEFA at short notice – because the men have been arrested for stealing a road sign while drunk.
The Ibrox club face the Ukrainian side in Poland in the Champions League third qualifying round first leg days after a stuttering draw against Hearts at the weekend, reports The Daily Record. Dynamo's home game is being played in Lublin, Poland due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, while Rangers are hosting next week's second leg at Hampden, with Ibrox not yet ready due to a delayed steel shipment.
It's bizarrely being reported that the two VAR officials for the game have been removed from their duties. TVP SPORT say the pair were arrested at 2am, having been caught by police carrying a stolen road sign while drunk.
