Angry Ange Postecoglou let rip at VAR and accused the video refs of failing to learn from mistakes and ruining Celtic’s tempo. The Hoops boss took aim with a fiery bonfire night blast after his side edged Dundee United 4-2 in a sensational ending at Parkhead that saw them score twice in injury time.
United had levelled Sead Haksabanovic’s early opener from a Steven Fletcher spot kick after Alexandro Bernabei had been controversially adjudged by VAR Nick Walsh to have handled in the box. Soon after the video refs were again at it when of-field official David Dickinson was urged to stop the game as they took a look at a Craig Sibbald challenge on Giorgos Giakoumakis - with the decision eventually being taken that there was no serious foul play.
Another VAR check halted Celtic’s second goal celebrations momentarily. And brassed-off Postecoglou - who took a thinly veiled dig at Walsh after he failed to award his side a spot kick for handball at Tynecastle a fortnight ago - fumed: “Just to be clear here; I don’t have a problem with VAR but I have a problem with how it is being used.
