Alex Cochrane Hearts red card vs Celtic put under Ref Watch microscope by Dermot Gallagher

Dermot Gallagher has had his say on Alex Cochrane's red card in Hearts' defeat to Celtic as the former whistler analysed the weekend's action on Ref Watch.

Kyogo and Oh Hyeon-gyu scored the goals to confirm the Scottish Premiership title is heading for Parkhead, but interim Jambos boss Steven Naismith was left fuming with referee Nick Walsh and VAR official Willie Collum after the defender was initially given a yellow card for a last man challenge on Daizen Maeda.

An intervention from Collum saw the punishment upgraded to a red card, leaving Hearts down to 10 men for the second-half, with Celtic turning the screw to kickstart their title party on Sunday afternoon.
