Ex-Ref’s Damning Verdict on Bobby Madden

Decision surrounding Celtic being discussed on Sky Sports News ‘Ref Watch’ seems to be at an all time high this season.

The amount of dubious decisions that have gone against the bhoys since the start of the season has been troubling.

Sky Sports take the biggest ref talking points of the weekend and get former top whistler Dermot Gallagher in to give his verdict on what has gone on.

With regards to the absolute hatchet job Scott McKenna got away with against Celtic at the weekend – injuring Odsonne Edouard in the process, Gallagher was very clear on what SHOULD have happened.

“I think a penalty and at least a yellow card.

“That really is not a good tackle but it got washed away.

“It’s not one that was given. I actually think it would be easier to give a penalty there than not to be honest.”

Bobby Madden refused to give anything for the incident. It was as clear as day and he told Edouard to get up.

This isn’t the first time Madden has refused to give Celtic a penalty for a shocking tackle.

Celtic drew with their Glasgow rivals a couple of years back with a huge assist from Madden who deemed the foul on Leigh Griffiths in the box was not a penalty right at the death. Pictures showed it was another clear decision ignored by the official.

How many more decisions like this does Madden get to make?
