CELTIC were denied a stonewall penalty in their 2-2 Glasgow Derby draw at Ibrox.
Carl Starfelt pounced on a loose ball on the edge of the box and hit it on the half-volley. However, it was met by Conor Goldson’s hands, which were abnormally high and slightly outstretched.
Willie Collum, who was on VAR, reviewed the incident as John Beaton halted play on the pitch. Despite the delay, it was play on, and Celtic was not awarded a penalty.
Just take a look at this, how has it not been ruled as a Celtic penalty?
It’s a baffling decision and one that should be explained.
Celtic did manage to keep their heads and find an equaliser after this, with Kyogo pouncing in the box, securing the draw that would see Celtic maintain their lead at the top of the table.
Celtic lead their Glasgow rivals by nine points, with two meetings of the sides to go this season. Celtic must keep up their good form, it’s really their league to lose now.
