Callum McGregor claims Celtic need VAR 'good ones' to balance early season refereeing inconsistency

Callum McGregor insists Celtic will need some big VAR calls to go their way to balance out the ropy decisions from the video refs.

The skipper agrees with his gaffer Ange Postecoglou’s assessment his side have suffered a raw deal since the technology was rolled out in Scotland before the World Cup. Celtic have been left fuming over a run of handball calls against Matt O’Riley and Alexandro Bernabei – while rivals Connor Goldson and Michael Smith at Rangers and Hearts got off the hook.

McGregor said: “We probably need a couple of good ones to go for us for that to happen. The law of averages would suggest that, over a season, it will. But we need to get some good ones between now and the end of the season. I think it’s (VAR) been pretty inconsistent to say the least. We have probably been on the harsher side of quite a lot of the decisions in the majority of the league.
