2 Celtic penalty gripes escape Ref Watch justice but Dermot Gallagher heaps praise on Dingwall U-turn
A pair of Celtic penalty gripes have escaped the glare of the Sky Sports' Ref Watch panel as the replay for Liam Scales' ruled out goal failed to load during the TV debate.
The bonkers clash in the Highlands was last up on Dermot Gallagher's to do list and he praised the call from VAR which asked referee David Munro to head to the monitor and upgrade James Brown's yellow to a red card. But the Scales incident and a second penalty shout on a tug on Oh didn't reach a verdict from the jury, as the only other incident shown was the paper-thin offside on Daizen Maeda in the build-up to Oh's disallowed goal.
Speaking on Ref Watch, Gallagher said on Brown's red card: "100 per cent the right decision when you set in on the replay". Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers admitted he was miffed Scales' strike was ruled out and that sentiment was echoed by pundits including Neil McCann. And the incident involving Oh picked up steam after the game with stills showing the South Korean international was held inside the box.
Rodgers said: “We created a lot of chances with some goals disallowed which I’ll have to see again, especially the offside and even the one before that, early on, where there’s two guys jumping for the ball and the ball lands and we finish and it’s given as a no goal. So I don’t see that as a good decision."
Celtic cruised to a 3-0 win and opened up an eight-point lead over Rangers with their rivals booking their place in the Viaplay Cup Final.
