Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou sets fine example amid irresponsible VAR rabble rousing - Keith Jackson

If you listen carefully you can just about make out the theme tune to Fawlty Towers playing in the background.

Well, what else did you expect when Scottish football got the chance to play with a new toy for the first time? Don’t mention the VAR. A bunch of former Celtic players may have mentioned it once or twice over the weekend but I think they got away with it.

By throwing around words such as ‘scandalous’ and suggesting Celtic were up against two teams at Tynecastle on Saturday they were stoking a toxic, cliched old fire. Come on lads, you’re better than that. The very last thing the game in this country needs is more deliberate fanning of the flames at a time when our accident-prone officials are being ordered to jump out of the frying pan. It was hard enough when only one of them was calling the shots.
