ANGE POSTECOGLOU has criticised the ‘theatre’ surrounding VAR, as the involvement of the technology in Celtic’s enthralling win over Hearts veered from tragedy to farce.
VAR played a central role in what was a hugely entertaining game in the capital, with referee Nick Walsh delaying the game on several occasions as decisions were reviewed by Steven McLean back in VAR headquarters in Clydesdale House.
The Celtic manager was less than impressed by the way those delays interrupted the flow of the game, but he also couldn’t understand why the official didn’t refer to the pitch-side screen when Hearts full-back Michael Smith handled the ball inside his own area.
