Ange Postecoglou exasperated by VAR as Celtic boss says handball calls are 'a mess'

Ange Postecoglou says Scottish football has got itself into ‘a mess’ over the handball rule as he grows exasperated with VAR decisions against Celtic.

The Parkhead manager believes it’s indisputable his team have endured a ‘rough run’ since the technology arrived in the Premiership in October. Postecoglou, who confirmed Greg Taylor will miss ‘a couple of weeks’ with a hamstring injury, is baffled Celtic were not awarded a penalty in Monday’s 2-2 draw at Ibrox after the ball struck Connor Goldson’s arm.

Inconsistency is the 57-year-old’s primary concern, insisting he and his players have no idea how the rules will be applied on a week-to-week basis.
