‘Disgusted’: Peter Grant doesn’t hold back when he hears the latest Celtic update from the SFA
After learning the most recent information from the organization that oversees the games, Peter Grant gives the SFA a hard time, fueling the ongoing Celtic red card controversy.
We’ve been hearing opinions on the red card Hyunjun Yang received at Hearts on Sunday from experts, commentators, and even Brendan Rodgers for the entire week.
Celtic made the decision to appeal this week. Grant was quite enraged and told the Hampden suits precisely what he thought of their decision after learning that the SFA had upheld Yang’s red card and consequent three-game suspension.
“Crawford Allan, you should be aware of how poor our refereeing system is if the three men are unable to get the proper ruling out of those [the SFA offices].
If he says the boot is high, then fair enough, he’s made the right call in awarding a free kick.
“A card with a yellow color I would have challenged that. The red card was embarrassing, but that didn’t make things better.
“And for them to return to the [SFA] office without making any changes after Celtic requested that they examine it and refrain from making any changes.
“I’m saying this for football, not only for Celtic, I promise. VAR is a joke. And if the referees aren’t able to Make the appropriate choice there.
Whoa. Grant has done some amazing work, and it’s really encouraging to hear a pundit and former Celtics player feel so strongly about this subject. Grant, though, has always been that way.
Regardless of how he feels about Celtic and the game as a whole, the former hoops star is usually fair and impartial.
But even in this instance, Grant is obviously furious—both at VAR and at the SFA for failing to reach the right decision in Yang’s termination.
The South Korean will now be out for Celtic’s next three league games, and if my calculations are accurate, he will miss the Ibrox Glasgow Derby.
That is a major setback for Rodgers, who might also miss the match since the SFA may summon him in response to his remarks made about Hearts following the game.
For Celtic, everything is going wrong at the wrong time. Hopefully, this will energize the group and inspire them to win this crown.
