Liam Scales 'indicated' Celtic penalty should NOT have stood as raging Feyenoord culprit goes in two-footed on ref

Raging Feyenoord midfielder Ramiz Zerrouki claims Liam Scales "indicated" that Celtic's penalty should not have been given in the Champions League showdown.

Referee Benoit Bastien warned the Algerian star about pulling in the box in the build-up to a corner from the home side in the first half, and as Luis Palma whipped the ball in towards the head of Scales - who appeared to be hauled down in the box by Zerrouki. Whistler Bastien was quick to penalise the offence and point to the spot, with Honduran Palma stepping up to open the scoring in the Group E clash.

Yankuba Minteh would level the game in the second half before Gustaf Lagerbielke nodded the ball into the net to secure the Hoops their first three points of the group stage campaign in stoppage time. The irked Feyenoord man insisted that the Dutch champions should have taken more from the Celtic showdown as he said: "It's very frustrating. Especially in the second half, we played up and down with high intensity. We had plenty of chances. So it is frustrating that we do not take the chances."

Speaking on the penalty to RTL after the game, Zerrouki went on to insist Ireland cap Scales agreed with him - and that a penalty should not have been awarded: "Yes, we have some contact with each other. In my opinion, far too little for a penalty. Initially the referee warned us.

"He touched me and I touched him. Then the corner is taken and he pushes me first. Then I touch him It's far too light for a penalty in my eyes.

"I haven't seen it again myself. The way I talk about it now is purely how I felt in the match. The Celtic player also indicated that he didn't think it was a penalty either.

"That says enough, I think. It was given far too easily by the referee. In the end
