That’s a penalty, it’s a penalty kick. His arms are up, in an unnatural position, it’s a stonewall penalty and once again Celtic denied by a decision by the referee, the referee has bottled that.
In those days I really did not want to give an inch, I knew how it worked. I wasn’t letting anyone get the upper hand on us.
Among the many problems facing the SFA the issues with VAR is near the top, effecting 11 SPFL Premiership clubs most weekends. Maxwell thinks it is working well but he led in the worldwide recruitment that led to Collum being appointed as Head of Refereeing at the SFA.

Boyd’s team managed to drop points in 16 SPFL matches, they never won in four visits to St Mirren and Hibs, under two different managers they went seven matches at Ibrox without a victory. The did from Southampton isn’t going to resolve that in less than three months.

You are talking about misfortune but we got a phone call, on a Monday morning to say that we should have had three penalty kicks, this was before VAR came in.
