Celtic have been raging at VAR decisions this season but rivals reckon their pressure on the beaks paid off with their let off at Hampden on Saturday.
Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes labelled the clumsy late challenge from Giorgos Giakoumakis as a stonewaller and Hotline callers are convinced the call was made because of Hoops moaning. Steve Macleod, Wokingham, said: “Celtic’s emergency VAR meeting might be merited after all. I trust they’ll ‘even things out’ and put Maeda’s handball and the rugby tackle non-penalty this weekend first on the agenda.”
Rab Hunter, Dumfries, said: “Well, well, well, Willie Collum failed to give a penalty against Celtic in a major cup game. Where’s the paranoia and conspiracy theories now, or is this different? Let’s guess, this will be part of the evening up process. No it’s not – it’s wrong, yet again.”
