VAR dominated the headlines on Saturday afternoon as Celtic edged Hearts in a 4-3 win at Tynecastle in one of the most bizarre, entertaining Scottish Premiership games in history.
What started out as a sloppy game with missed chances from Hearts duo Barrie McKay and Robert Snodgrass finally saw James Forrest get the wheels in motion as he capitalised on a fortunate deflection via Orestis Kiomourtzoglou, heading home from five yards to give the away side the lead. Despite Anthony Ralston's effort being ruled out for a foul in the build-up, the game seemed to be petering to a draw at half-time before VAR descended like an eagle to its prey just before the interval.
Cammy Devlin was caught by Cameron Carter-Vickers, with the American knowing he had given a penalty away before Nick Walsh went to the screen. Despite the issues with technology that followed, Lawrence Shankland dusted himself down to settle the scores at the break. Of course, that could've been different with Celtic feeling aggrieved that they weren't awarded a spot kick of their own when Michael Smith handled, though that was waved away. Ange Postecoglou couldn't believe it.
