Matt O'Riley in Celtic handball hysterics as Hatate and Haksabanovic caught in bemused penalty award reaction

Plenty have had their say on Celtic’s controversial penalty award which set them on their way to a thumping 5-0 Scottish Cup win over Morton at Parkhead. And it seems from the reaction of the home bench that even they reckon the Hoops might have been fortunate with the spot kick.

A video taken from the stand captures Celtic substitutes Reo Hatate, Matt O’Riley and Sead Haksabanovic all looking over Kevin Clancy’s shoulder as he studied the monitor behind the home dug-out after Craig Napier in the VAR room had asked the referee to check a potential handball by Ton stopper Efe Ambrose.

Morton gaffer Dougie Imrie was unhappy at the time it took for Clancy to look at the incident and a clip circulating on social media shows the frustration from the home support over the length of the time it took while Hatate, O’Riley and Haksabanovic appear to find the whole thing quite amusing as they peer behind Clancy.
