4 big Willie Collum calls in Celtic vs Kilmarnock as loaded McInnes penalty quip underlines burning issue

Willie Collum was in the middle of it at Hampden on Saturday as Celtic edged out a resilient Kilmarnock side to reach the Viaplay Cup final - but it wasn't a game short of refereeing controversy.

While the scoreline would suggest it was something of a routine 2-0 win for the men in green and white, in reality it was far from it with a number of officiating decisions once again dominating the headlines. Celtic had two goals chopped off while Kilmarnock were denied a late penalty while still 1-0 in a fiery clash that heated things up in the wind and rain in Glasgow's southside.

On-field whistler Collum and VAR Greg Aitken had their work cut out for them as the offside lines came out, the handball rulebook was dusted off and the roars of 'PENALTY!' reverberated around the city. Record Sport run the rule over four big calls that dominate the narrative in the aftermath of the Hampden showpiece.
