Celtic fans turned their anger on the BBC as they discussed the Compliance Officer looking into comments made by Tom Boyd.

While Michael Stewart gave some measured comments about the situation his colleague Tom English decided to go off on various angry tangents critical of Celtic and Boyd.

Largely overlooked throughout it all was John Beaton failing to award Celtic a penalty kick from a clear hand-ball by Josh Coley. It was a decision that didn’t require VAR or a look at new season legislation, Coley ran towards Mikey Johnston, raised his arms and deflected a net-bound shot out for a corner.

The night before the Celtic match Bobby Madden awarded a penalty to Hearts against Motherwell that most agreed was soft but clearly a penalty.

After Coley’s handball Beaton appeared to indicate that he believed the ball had struck his head rather than his hand.

As the arguments rage on, while Boyd and Celtic wait to find out if any charges are made Beaton can prepare for another high profile match this weekend.

With a place on the FIFA list the Lanarkshire based referee is assured of continually getting the top fixtures and match fees regardless of how he performs week by week.
