Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou admitted he wasn't enamoured with the VAR "circus" which came to Tynecastle as he rued his side being denied a penalty in their thrilling 4-3 win over Hearts.
The 57-year-old was still gathering his thoughts after watching a pulsating encounter in Gorgie which resulted in seven goals, two penalties, including a retake, and one turned away for the visitors by VAR. And the biggest bone of contention came at the end of the first half as Michael Smith escaped a potential penalty against him for a handball which Celtic were convinced should have resulted in a spot kick. But referee Nick Walsh was told to play on minutes after a protracted call to award Hearts their first spot kick of the afternoon.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "Cracking game, what do I know? VAR, starring role, three points. Credit to the lads it's not easy coming here, their crowd is up and about, the conditions the way the are, it's always going to be a 50/50 game and with the whole circus around VAR it becomes anything but the football. For us, within that context just to stick to try and play our football and finding a way to win is credit to the lads."
