Watch: New Footage of Bayo Red Card Incident Emerges

Celtic were reduced to 10 men very late in the game when substitute Bayo was given two yellow card’s in quick succession.

The frontman was only on the field for seven minutes before he was sent up the tunnel.

The striker can feel very hard done by after the incident. He went to contest a spilled ball by the goalkeeper – the keeper collects and Bayo brushes by Mendy. He then starts rolling about like Bayo has hit him in the face and/or head but the referee sees it and plays on.

He then stops play, goes over to the play acting goalkeeper and after looking at him decides to give Bayo his second yellow.

It was incredible. To see a referee change his mind on an incident from the way a player continues to react is astonishing and UEFA should be coming down hard on Mendy for cheating to get a fellow pro sent off.
