Scott Allan in Celtic agree AND dispute with Robbie Neilson over his Bernabei claims

Scott Allan believes Alexandro Bernabei was right to not face punishment after catching a Hearts player on the ankle during Celtic's win last on Wednesday.

Hearts manager Robbie Neilson was furious that the defender did not see red for a challenge on Nathaniel Atkinson. VAR official Nick Walsh checked Bernabei's tackle while the Hearts player received treatment but referee Alan Muir was not asked to review the footage and the Argentinian escaped without any punishment.

The scores were level at the time and Ange Postecoglou's side went on to win 3-1 as goals from Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi and Sead Haksabanovic completed the Premiership leaders' comeback following Josh Ginnelly's early opener. The Hoops retained their nine-point lead at the top of the league after Rangers defeated Hibs at Easter Road 4-1. Neilson raged following the game saying you need to get a "decapitation" against Celtic at Parkhead to get a red card against them.
