Robbie Neilson admits Hearts would have needed a 'decapitation' to get a red card awarded against Celtic and that it was a 'shambles'.
The Jambos boss says only a beheading would have resulted in Ange Postecoglou's side losing a man during the 3-1 defeat to the Scottish champions on Wednesday. Josh Ginnelly fired a shock opener at Parkhead in an attempt to spoil Postecoglou's 100th game in charge but the response was strong from the Hoops with Daizen Maeda, Kyogo and Sead Haksabanovic all on target.
There was a flashpoint involving Hoops defender Alexandro Bernabei who received a yellow card for a challenge on Nathaniel Atkinson that VAR official Nick Walsh did review for a potential red card. A short moment later there was to be no further action but one that did raise eyebrows by pundits.
