The victory for Celtic at Fir Park brought them back to the top of the Scottish Premiership, but it also sparked some concerns regarding the match officiating. Two controversial incidents marred the match, with Hoops striker Adam Idah being on the receiving end of a dangerous tackle that led to Motherwell defender Liam Gordon receiving a red card after VAR intervention.
Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell found himself in hot water with comments on the dismissal, with former SFA referees Des Roache and Steve Conroy pointing out that another Motherwell player could have also been red carded during the match.
The podcast “Behind The Whistles” highlighted an incident involving Stephen O’Donnell’s challenge on Celtic’s Daizen Maeda, suggesting that VAR should have reviewed the play for a potential penalty and red card for DOGSO.
As Celtic prepare to face Dundee, fans are left pondering the outcome of the Aberdeen vs Rangers match. Would they prefer Aberdeen to win, creating a larger gap between second and third place, or do they hope for a Rangers victory to keep the gap from them as large as possible? Regardless of the outcome on Wednesday night, it is sure to be a significant evening for Celtic supporters.
