SNS GroupThe Polish FA will investigate reports that two VAR officials scheduled to be in place for the Champions League qualifier between Dynamo Kyiv and Rangers in Poland were arrested for a drunken escapade.
It was reported that three intoxicated men removed a road sign in the early hours of the morning in Lublin and moved with it towards one of the shopping malls before being detained by police.
Both officials were replaced for the third qualifying round tie involving the Glasgow side.
