Peter Grant erupts in astonishing Celtic VAR rant as Brendan Rodgers lands fiery defence after ‘joke’ SFA charge

enraged After his vehement post-match tirade, Peter Grant defended Brendan Rodgers against a possible punishment, furiously denouncing the SFA for upholding Yang’s red card.

Details of Celtic’s case, which was presented to the Hampden chiefs, are finally becoming public. The South Korea international saw his appeal against the red card dismissed by the SFA. During the Premiership champions’ 2-0 loss to Hearts, the winger received his marching orders after hitting Alex Cochrane in the face with a high boot. The winger was originally booked by referee Don Robertson, but after receiving advice from John Beaton in the VAR room to review the flashpoint, a red card was given.

The SFA has now punished Boss Rodgers for his outburst against the match officials after the final whistle, during which he criticized both the decision to dismiss the attacker and the penalty given to Tomoki Iwata for handball. The legendary player for the Hoops, Grant, criticized the officials’ behavior in a Go Radio interview, taking aim at the regulatory board for not clearing Yang.

“There was no possibility of it being overturned,” he declared. The head of officiating announced a few weeks ago that they had made mistakes and wanted to correct them before the season ended. Thus, you could be certain that there was zero risk of them changing

“I guess it’s not even a booking at the moment, but the decision was a disgrace. It is a skill; if he were to knock it over his head and pull it down, we would exclaim, “What a fantastic piece of skill.” Regretfully, the boy’s head became stuck in his foot.Yes, his foot is high, but his face is unmarked and free of blood. I heard that this is entirely different from Joe Hart at St. Mirren (red card for high foot). He is struck by the outside of the boot with this hook.

It’s repulsive what the refs are doing. On Saturday, you have Beaton and Robertson, and Crawford Allan, if there are three guys.

“I would have agreed with the yellow card, and a red card is an embarrassment. However, to return to the office now that Celtic has requested that it be examined and not changed once more—VAR is a shame because the referees are so incompetent if they can’t make that call correctly. I witnessed the referees presenting a justification, claiming that they and their families would face criticism. I had always maintained that VAR had no business being in Scotland since the country is so unique.
