Another Scottish Premiership fixture card and yet more VAR controversy. SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell’s prediction that the technology would be “horrendous” for a few months is actually proving to be a bit of an understatement.
Champions Celtic beat Motherwell 2-1 at Fir Park and for the second match in a row for the Hoops there was no shortage of VAR controversy with three massive calls under real scrutiny. Steelmen boss Steven Hammell also hit out at an incident in the build-up to what proved to be the winner for the visitors at Fir Park
Ange Postecoglou, though, had a couple of reasons of his own to feel hard done by with two incidents involving his side. David Dickinson was the man who was behind the controls at the VAR centre at Clydesdale House having been on the pitch during Celtic’s clash at the weekend when he awarded Dundee United a penalty for handball against Alexandro Bernabei after being asked to review the incident on the pitch side monitor.
