Following a thrilling weekend of Scottish Premiership action, Celtic and Aberdeen have taken a commanding six-point lead over Rangers at the top of the table. The highlight of the weekend was Aberdeen’s remarkable comeback against Celtic at Parkhead, where a halftime pep talk from Jimmy Thelin spurred the Dons to rally from a 2-0 deficit to secure a hard-fought draw.
Meanwhile, Rangers missed a golden opportunity to close the gap on the leaders as they suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock. Despite their efforts, the VAR decisions at Celtic Park stole the spotlight, with former referee Des Roache praising the officials for their handling of key incidents in the game.
Roache commended the VAR team for disallowing Aberdeen’s handball goal and praised the precise call made on the Luke McCowan trip, which was correctly ruled to be outside the box. While some may criticize the decisions, Roache emphasized the importance of adhering to the laws of the game and commended the officials for their accurate calls.
As the SFA prepares for their next The VAR Review, fans eagerly await Willie Collum’s insights into the match officials’ decisions during this pivotal clash at Celtic Park.
