Dundee have submitted video evidence of two contentious incidents during their recent defeat against Celtic to the referee authorities, The Courier reports. The Dark Blues suffered a 2-0 loss at Celtic Park, with goals from Alistair Johnston and Arne Engels sealing the victory for the hosts.
In the match, Dundee felt Mo Sylla was fouled just before Celtic’s second goal, but the referee missed the shirt pull. They also believed they should have been awarded a penalty when Liam Scales escaped punishment for a potential handball, despite a lengthy VAR review.
The club has forwarded additional footage of these incidents to the SFA’s Key Incident Review Panel for further evaluation next week.
Following the defeat, Dundee manager Tony Docherty expressed his disappointment with the decisions, stating that he believed the penalty was soft and that there were clear signs of a foul leading up to the incident. However, he also emphasized the need for his team to focus on their performance and trust the process to eventually yield positive results.
Despite the loss, Docherty commended his team for their strong effort and organization against a formidable opponent like Celtic. He praised their resilience and execution of the game plan, noting that they deserved credit for their hard work on the pitch.
Celtic will now face Aberdeen in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final this weekend, as they continue to compete for the top spot in the Scottish Premiership.
