“Totally awful” – BBC Sport writer Tom English was pushed away by two Celtic players as he break silence and gave his decision on the penalty controversy during Celtic Vs Rangers Match

Celtic beat Rangers 2-1 at Celtic Park on December 30, 2018, in the Scottish Premiership. It was a huge win for Celtic.

All three points were earned by the Hoops. Goncalves Bernando scored in the first half, and Kyogo Furuhashi scored in the second.

At the very end, James Tavernier scored a goal to make it exciting, but Celtic did enough to make sure they didn’t give up any late goals.

Tom English went on X after the game to talk about how he felt. The BBC Sport reporter was blown away by Callum McGregor’s showing and called him “excellent.” He saved all of his best praise for Kyogo, who made a beautiful goal.

“Kyogo is once again following the Rangers.” Really, what a pearler that is. With beautiful dancing and a devastating ending. I wrote “2-0” in English on X.

“Celtic have dominated the middle of the field, and Callum McGregor has been great.” Two great goals. There is too much waste from Rangers. Nawrocki is great when he comes off the bench. He also said in a separate tweet, “Glad that ‘penalty’ was finally explained as offside before the Johnston handball.”

The debate over the penalty
Rangers players asked for a penalty in the first half because Alistair Johnston seemed to have handled the ball in the box. But VAR didn’t call for a penalty kick after a thorough check, which left many experts confused.

On the other hand, it turned out that Sima was offside during the build up.

The Bravehearts deserved to win because they played so well the whole game. Recently, Brendan Rodgers has had some bad luck, which has put pressure on him. But he will be very happy with this result and the win.

The goal from Kyogo was out of this world, and McGregor was great. The Japan international always scores against Rangers, and this time he scored with his left foot, which isn’t as strong.

Breaking News: 57 years-old Steve Conroy, a former referee, points out a major mistake in the “offside” VAR call between Celtic Vs Ranger Match clash (2-1)

In the tense match between Rangers and Old Firm that took place today, former referee Steve Conroy believes that Rangers were denied a penalty that was obvious.

When Alistair Johnston knocked the ball out of play with his right hand while under pressure from Abdallah Sima, Conroy is confident that the team coached by Phillipe Clement ought to have been awarded a penalty kick.

According to Sky Sports, the handball was not allowed to stand because Sima was offside. However, Conroy is pointing out that the video assistant referee (VAR) cannot get involved in an offside scenario when checking for a penalty.

There was a chance for Rangers to tie the game with a penalty kick, but they were denied that opportunity, according to Conroy. Undoubtedly, that was a punishment.

There is no relevance to offside. The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) is only able to check for an offside if there is a consequence, such as a goal. The answer was no.

The purpose of Willie Collum’s presence is to determine whether or not there was a hand ball play.

The fact that the game was restarted with a goal kick rather than an indirect free kick, as would have been the case if the offside had been awarded, is a telling circumstance.
