CeltsAreHere understands that Celtic are pushing the SFA for a definitive image that was used to chop off Daizen Maeda’s equaliser against Hibernian at Easter Road on Saturday.

The Hoops have asked for the image and footage that led VAR Alan Muir to his final decision to rule out the goal, with the ball allegedly having gone out of play.

Celtic are looking to see if a more conclusive angle was used by Muir to make the controversial decision.

If a camera angle closer to the ball was used, it would clear up the confusion. However, if Muir made his decision based on the 18-yard line camera around the edge of the box, that video wouldn’t be definitive or conclusive enough to make such a huge call.

UEFA often utilises the camera behind the goal to make VAR calls, but with Scottish football lacking the same funding, it appears unlikely that they will be able to supply conclusive evidence that the ball was out of play.

Brendan Rodgers did discuss the controversial decision post-match with the Irishman. Having coached in England for a number of years, he spoke about how Scottish football doesn’t have the same standard of equipment as English football due to not having as many cameras at the game.

If it is revealed that Muir made the call to overrule referee Steven MacLean and the assistant referees, who would have had the best view of the ball, it’s certainly likely to be a difficult situation for SFA Head of Referee Operations Willie Collum to have to deal with.

Put simply, if the goal wasn’t ruled out, Celtic would have been level in the game with momentum on their side and had the chance to go on and secure a win. Instead, they suffered defeat through a controversial call that has yet to be backed up by any conclusive evidence.
