6 big VAR calls as Celtic handball verdict baffles Ange Postecoglou and Craig Gordon staying on raises questions

Ange Postecoglou isn't sure what constitutes handball in the box any more.

The Celtic boss believes his side were denied a spot-kick against Hearts in their 4-3 win at Tynecastle two weeks ago after the ball appeared to strike Michael Smith on the hand. Ball to hand was the explanation given. The Aussie was even more bewildered on Saturday when a Steven Fletcher header into the arm of an oblivious Alexandro Bernabei was awarded against the champions.

He wasn't the only boss bemoaning VAR calls this weekend. The night before, Lee Johnson felt the eye in the sky got it wrong when Aberdeen were given a penalty against his side at Pittodrie. It was saved then scored after a retake, but it was the award that irked the Easter Road boss rather than what came after.
