Chris Sutton said what thousands of BT Sport subscribers were thinking when he called Steven Craigan an embarrassment after he defended Andrew Dallas’ decision not to award Celtic a first half penalty at Dundee today.
Last week Sutton called out Derek Johnstone with Motherwell coach Craigen today’s target.
Erik Sviatchenko was cleaned out in the penalty box by Cameron Kerr early in the first half.
It was a clear cut penalty to the Celtic fans behind the goals with the hoops players turning to Dallas expecting a penalty.
Incredibly the FIFA ranked whistler waved play on with his assistant failing to raise his flag. BT Sport later showed a clear view of the incident- until the assistant blocked their view as Kerr sent Sviatchenko to the deck.

Craigan has long been a source of annoyance for Celtic fans with his predictable take on incidents avoiding the hoops.
Penalties given are invariably described as soft while he jumps to the defence of referees when decisions go against Celtic.
Sutton was having none of it with the fearless pundit calling Dallas out straight away with his viewpoint backed up by Howard Webb.

Despite that incident Celtic went on to take full points thanks to a 47th minute goal from Scott Brown.
Celtic dominated possession throughout the match but lacked a cutting edge around goal with Dundee barely threatening even after going behind.
With an international break coming up Celtic are unbeaten domestically and in decent shape in the Champions League after drawing 3-3 with Manchester City.
