Amazed Michael Stewart reckons it was "ludicrous" that Jayden Richardson was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box against Rangers.
Rangers beat Aberdeen without too much fuss despite conceding early on to Connor Barron as Antonio Colak, John Lundstram, James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos all struck to temporarily cut Celtic 's lead at the top to a single point. But the Dons were left protesting furiously when, at 3-1, Richardson was adjudged to have handled following a Tavernier corner and ref Steven McLean pointed to the spot.
The defender was in a seemingly innocuous position when the ball bounced up and struck his hand but he was adamant there was nothing he could do to avoid it. And Stewart agreed on BBC Sportscene as he blasted: "I just think handball's ludicrous to be perfectly honest. That to me is never a handball. It deflects up off of Richardson...are the officials trying to tell us that he has deliberately handballed that? That would be one of the most ludicrous things on planet earth.
