Stephen Robinson questions Celtic VAR penalty call as 'clear and obvious' but admits he needs second look

Stephen Robinson believes his side deserved more than the result suggested in a 5-1 defeat to Celtic.

But the Buddies boss - despite branding his side excellent - feels there was some contention over a penalty awarded to the Hoops after Liel Abada's smashed effort struck the arm of defender Richard Taylor. Celtic were comfortable at 1-0 but saw the penalty converted by Reo Hatate spark four late goals to progress to the Scottish Cup quarter-final.

Referee Steven McLean consulted VAR over the decision and awarded the spot-kick adding to Robinson's woes with the sending off of the centre-half as the Paisley outfit capitulated. Hyeon-gyu Oh's first goal was part of a late flurry from the Hoops despite the away side scoring their own penalty through Mark O'Hara.
