“So that’s our problem, that’s our fault, we can’t blame VAR for that. But at 3-2 you’re still very much in the game. The fourth official was fantastic with me. Matthew MacDermid [referee]as well, they’re waiting on VAR, they’re looking for help, that’s what we allegedly pay this money for.

Robinson was left raging with the decision and was left lamenting a missed opportunity to punish the soon-to-be crowned four-in-a-row Scottish champions.

“You need luck against top teams. But it wasn’t luck today. It was just we didn’t get the decision we should have got. It’s 3-2 and everything to play for.

“I thought we were on top of the game at that stage as well. But it wasn’t to be, when you give good teams opportunities and decisions don’t go your way, you get results like today.”

If it had been a saints player that had to leave the field from being smacked with a flailing arm then thats the incident they would all be talking about , the pen would have been quickly dimissed as the defender got the ball , bias as allways on covering the Celts .
