Derek McInnes has once again questioned VAR on why Celtic were not reduced to 10-men during Kilmarnock's 4-1 home defeat to the champions after Hyu-Gyu Oh was adjudged to have caught Liam Donnelly with a high boot but escaped with minimal punishment.
Kilmarnock got off to the worst possible start as Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda and Matt O'Riley all scored for the visitors during a scintillating opening 20 minutes. Kyogo had the opportunity to add at the deficit from the penalty spot but he was denied by the post. However it didn't take long for a fourth goal to arise as O'Riley slotted the ball beyond Sam Walker.
Donnelly reduced arrears for Killie just before the break after pouncing on a defensive mistake and managed to frustrate Celtic throughout the second half, with the Scottish Premiership pace setters failing to add to their supremacy. The big talking point came when the technology told referee David Dickinson not to hand Oh a red card despite it looking like violent conduct on Donnelly. McInnes reckoned there's a lack of consistency in the VAR decisions being made by officials - citing a similar incident against Hibernian earlier in the season. And during the post-match interview with Sky Sports, he raged: "I thought there should've been a red card for Oh as well. We get Vassell sent off for a similar challenge at Easter Road and I don't know why VAR look because it's the same people on VAR that looked at the one at Easter Road. Liam Donnelly has got a full foot in the face. I don't want to see people sent off for that but my player got sent off at Easter Road and I do believe that that was a red card as well."
