Celtic have been told they should have had a penalty during the clash with Motherwell after Daizen Maeda was bundled over the in the box.

With the Scottish Premiership champions leading 1-0 at Fir Park, it would appear that Brendan Rodgers' side had claimed their second of the afternoon after the Japan international tapped the ball into the net under pressure from Stephen O'Donnell.

But after the ball trickled into the net off of Maeda's arm confusion set in at Fir Park - with the Celtic players initially congratulating the wide man for the strike while the winger appealed for a penalty kick amid Motherwell players protests to referee David Dickinson.

The VAR team would tell the whistler to delay play while the incident was checked before the goal was chalked off - but no information was provided on the decision over a potential foul on Maeda.
