'Embarrassing' decisions draw raging Celtic response but Parkhead board share Hotline blame with SFA
Rangers left the door open for Celtic - only for Hearts to slam it shut on Brendan Rodgers’ side. The Parkhead men were given a huge chance to reclaim control of the Premiership title race but the 10-man Hoops failed to take it after a day of VAR controversy at Tynecastle. Craig Strachan was first to have his say on the day's big moments: “When are referees and VAR officials going to start refereeing what they see?
OK, Yang’s boot was high but there no malice in it. It was never a red card.” John Caw added: “Last week a Motherwell player kicked a Celtic player in the head, no red card.
This week, Celtic player kicks a Hearts man in the head, red card. It shows what Celtic are up against in Scotland.” John Scott, Grassmoor, said: “First half of Hearts vs Celtic was truly cringe-worthy.
No doubt VAR will grab the headlines but the standard from both teams was awful. "Add in a boot in the face that never caused a bruise, never mind drew blood, a 50-50 challenge that went the way of the attacking player and a handball given against a player with his eyes shut as he’s barged in the back from an opponent.
