Ange Postecoglou in Celtic confession amid VAR drama as boss misses out on Jota strike

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou admits he was down the Dingwall tunnel when his side earned a penalty in the dying seconds of the first half against Ross County.

Staggies boss Malky Mackay was left vexed after Willie Collum was asked to consult VAR over a handball shout involving Alex Iacovitti in battle with Cameron Carter-Vickers. And the Australian admits the big talker in the Highlands passed him by as he had made a sharp exit after the whistle was blown for the interval and missed Jota breaking the deadlock.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "To be honest I was in the dressing room when they said it was a penalty. I had to check and see who got it because I wasn't really sure. Getting the goal was good but I just thought we were a bit wasteful in the final third. We had opportunities to the kill the game off but when it is so tight you keep the opposition in the game.

And he eased fears over star man Greg Taylor and hopes the injury which forced him off proves nothing too serious ahead of next weekend's blockbuster with Rangers.
