Steaua Bucharest boss Elias Charamboulou revealed how referee Marco di Bello said SORRY for denying his side a goal that could have changed their Europa League tie against Rangers after blowing for a foul on Jack Butland.The Romanians thought they had taken a shock early lead at Ibrox when winger David Miculescu robbed dithering Butland of possession with just two minutes on the clock before slotting home - but the Italian whistler claimed a foul had been committed by the Steaua star.FCSB crumbled after that with Rangers rattling in four goals on the night to ease the pressure on Light Blues boss Philippe Clement but it could have been so different if that early good had stood and the man in the middle apologised and crucially VAR was unable to intervene as he blew before the ball hit the back of the net.Cypriot Charamboulou said: "The game might have been very different if the referee had made the right decision on the goal.
I spoke to him at half-time and he apologised. He said he should have waited before whistling, so VAR could have helped with the decision and I respect him for that.
But it is too late now.“It was a bad night for us. Unfortunately, we knew from the beginning that we would face a very good team, especially at home.
We knew exactly what to face. The main problem for us was that we were dangerous when we had the ball.“We knew Rangers were a team that when they lose the ball high, they try to press and regain the ball.
