Ange Postecoglou reckons Celtic had a covering defender that could've spared captain Callum McGregor a red card in their win over Motherwell.
The reigning champions returned to the Premiership summit with a 2-1 win over Motherwell but their skipper is set for a spell on the sidelines after hauling down Ross Tierney in the dying minutes as he raced through on goal. But Postecoglou reckons his side were still well worth the win, having only been pegged back after Kyogo's opener by Josip Juranovic chesting the ball beyond Joe Hart and into his own net.
Victory restores the champions' two-point advantage over Rangers but the Parkhead boss suggested he feels McGregor's dismissal was not clear cut. He told BBC Sportsound: "It's hard to say. From my angle I thought we had a covering player. The referee's made that decision so we've just got to cop it."
