Video: Officials miss red card offence Ismaila Soro kicked in the chest

Ismaila Soro came on for Celtic in the second half as they looked to see out the rest of the game despite a Motherwell surge from a fluke Allan Campbell goal. Soro came on for Scott Brown but was lucky not to go off himself when Devante Cole recklessly kicked out at Soro after the Ivorian midfielder wrestled back position in Celtic’s half, by the touchline.

Soro dispossessed Cole but the 25-year-old, son of ex-Man Utd player Andy Cole, kicked Soro at chest height causing the midfielder some pain. Amazingly, Nick Walsh the man in the middle wasn’t told by either his Assistant or the Fourth Official that Cole had blatantly kicked out and as a result only gave a yellow.

Moments later, Stephen Welsh was elbowed in the face in a similar fashion to Scott Brown’s sending off versus Livingston. Again no red card came out the referee’s pocket.

Yet some will shout for consistency…
