Kris Boyd baffled by penalty against Celtic but Neil Lennon hits the roof over ANOTHER 'shocking' decision

Kris Boyd admits he is BAFFLED by the penalty awarded against Celtic as he asked: "What is he meant to do?"

The first half at Tynecastle was incident-fuelled with penalties, a red card and offside goal in an incredible opening 45 minutes of action. Jorge Grant converted his effort from 12-yards after Tomoki Iwata was penalised for handball following a VAR check. Team-mate Alistair Johnston looked to barge into his back as they contested for the ball in the air with the dropping ball striking his arm. Don Robertson was summoned to the screen with the whistler pointing to the spot.

Reacting to the decision, Boyd said during the half-time analysis on Sky Sports: "This is the only awful decision for me. How this is given as a penalty? Alistair Johnston barges into the back of Iwata. The rules are the rules, he makes himself bigger, I get it but what is he meant to do? The penalty is given but some of the decisions given in that first half are baffling."

Early on in the game Yang won a penalty after going down under a challenge from Alex Cochrane before the same duo were involved in another flashpoint inside the opening 15 minutes. The Celtic winger looked to chip the ball over the Hearts defender but as he nipped in with his head, he appeared to catch him with a high boot to the face. Again, following a check of the pitch side monitor man in the middle Robertson upgraded his decision to a red card to leave Brendan Rodgers' men down to ten early on.

That moment left Neil Lennon furious in the studio branding it as a "SHOCKING" decision. He said: "This is the big moment. You can debate all you want but I cannot see that being a straight red card. He is trying to flick the ball over Cochrane's head and he has gone in to flick
