Peter Grant was absolutely fuming after Rangers midfielder John Lundstram escaped a red card in the final moments of Celtic’s thrilling 1-0 victory in the Scottish Cup Final over the weekend.
As the clock wound down and Celtic held on to their lead, Lundstram made a reckless challenge on Matt O’Riley, who managed to avoid a full-on collision by leaping out of the way. Despite the dangerous nature of the tackle, referee Nick Walsh decided not to take any action, and VAR chose not to get involved.
Former Celtic star Grant criticized the challenge, noting that Lundstram had already been sent off in a previous match against Celtic just two weeks prior. During Celtic TV’s live coverage of the game, Grant expressed his disbelief, saying, “If O’Riley hadn’t dodged that, Lundstram would have seen red again. The attempt was shocking, and it’s baffling how the referee allowed him to get away with it, regardless of it being the last play of the game.”
