Ange Postecoglou has launched a major attack on the VAR system in Scotland insisting three huge calls have gone against Celtic - including the big Connor Goldson handball incident in the January 2 clash with Rangers.
The Celtic manager has mocked the decision of VAR Willie Collum NOT to award a penalty by insisting it was as good a save as Joe Hart made in the 2-2 draw at Ibrox. And he claims that if the decision had gone against the Light Blues it would be seen in a different light.
Overall, Postecoglou feels the new technology is not working properly in Scotland as he reckons other big calls have gone against Celtic and he doesn't think they will be evened out in the remainder of the season.
"It seems like it changes depending on who is in charge of the decision-making process. There has been zero consistency in the decisions being made. Over the course of the season, these things usually even themselves out, but with the introduction of VAR and the decisions that have gone against us in particular, there's zero chance that that's going to even up between now and the end of the year. It's just remarkable that we've had at least three major decisions go against us.
"We can just say, 'Well you know what, it comes down to interpretation', or whatever people want to say. But I guarantee you, if that game finished 2-2, and it was Rangers that were denied that decision, the talk this week would be about how that was a title-defining decision.
"Now the fact that it wasn't, because we still got a result as we have in all of the other games, whether that was at Tynecastle or here at home where decisions have gone against us, does not mean that we ignore it because that could be a team that gets relegated on a decision like that.
"I still think it needs to be highlighted, I still think there needs to be clarification. It's a penalty in my mind. Before we even started introducing VAR, it's always been a penalty. To be honest, there were only two saves made in the game. One by Joe and one by Connor. That was it."
