Greg Taylor 'horrible' Celtic penalty verdict as pundit reveals why VAR wasn't needed in flashpoint

Greg Taylor was the victim of a 'horrible' handball situation against St Mirren and VAR should not have been forced to intervene.

That is the view of former Rangers defender Alan Hutton who says the Scotland left-back was caught between a rock and a hard place as the Hoops lost a penalty inside five minutes against the Buddies. The end result was a scintillating second-half performance from Ange Postecoglou's side that saw 5-1 as the final scoreline in Paisley.

And Hutton insists that while VAR was able to make what was - in his view - the right call, that referee David Dickinson had a clear enough view of the incident as to award the spot-kick without the need for consultation. Yet the former defender sympathises with Taylor and suggests he probably knew it was going to be a penalty.
