Ange Postecoglou took a thinly-veiled dig at VAR at the weekend after Celtic brushed off controversial decisions to move one step closer to the title.
But there was no masking the fury towards the technology on the Hotline as Hoops fans declared video nasties in both their own win against St Mirren and Rangers’ victory over Kilmarnock. VAR Andrew Dallas penalised Greg Taylor for handball as St Mirren stormed ahead from the spot against the Hoops before he later overturned a Celtic penalty award when Kyogo was hauled down by Charles Dunne, although TV pictures showed the contact was outside the box.
At Ibrox Rangers were awarded a spot kick when VAR David Munro spotted Ryan Alebiosu had handled but Gers keeper Allan McGregor later went unpunished for a clumsy challenge on Rory McKenzie in the box. Celtic boss Postecoglou said yesterday: “VAR doesn’t miss anything by the looks of it, especially with us.”
