Mark Wilson admits he's baffled by the reaction to Celtic's 1-0 win over Rangers on Sunday.
The former Hoops defender insists there was no major drama during the match, while providing his view on Kemar Roofe's disallowed goal during the first half.
Cyriel Dessers robbed Gustaf Lagerbiekle of the ball in a dangerous area before setting up his strike partner to lash home.
However, VAR advised referee Don Robertson to review the situation and as a result, he overturned the decision.

Kyogo scored the only goal of the game, as Brendan Rodgers' men went four points clear of their arch-rivals at the summit of the Premiership.
And Wilson has dismissed any suggestions that Rangers were hardly treated by the officials.
He told Sky Sports: “I thought it was a foul. I really can’t believe the debate on it. Maybe because the phase of play played out and Rangers got a goal it’s brought a debate on.
"But when you analyse it really, Lagerbielke is dilly dallying on the ball and looks in trouble but when he goes to clear the ball, Dessers comes across him and plants his foot and that’s where the foul was and then Dessers nicks the ball.
“It’s different if Dessers nicks the ball and Lagerbielke stumbles then but you can clearly see the foul so I’m amazed by the reaction it has got and some people going the other way.
“Rangers fans will feel hard done by. In that stadium with 50k and no away fans it was hard to understand what was going on at the time.
"When Don Robertson pointed for a free kick the Rangers crowd cheered because they didn’t know what was going on but I thought it was the right decision at the time.”
Meanwhile, Celtic target Mathias Kvistgaarden has broken his silence on interest from the Hoops and admitted the Scottish champions are a huge club.
But he insists he won't sulk after a potential move collapsed.
The Brondby striker was reportedly the subject of a £4.1 million bid from Celtic last week before the transfer window closed, but the Danish club wouldn't budge on their £6 million valuation for the 21-year-old who was under contract for another four years at his club.
