Much has been made in the media about the penalty Celtic were awarded away to Kilmarnock last night.
The striker was going at full pelt when Colin Doyle dived towards his feet, what the exact level of contact was is hard to determine but after Kevin Clancy pointed to the penalty spot Odsonne Edouard didn’t offer any sympathy as he netted from 12 yards.
Kris Boyd and James McFadden weren’t convinced with the incident referenced throughout the remainder of the commentary.
How can McFadden and Boyd watch this about 5 times and then say Edouard was already on the way down. How can clueless clowns like this get a job on the telly! pic.twitter.com/1l05yVI4T3

The incident above didn’t get the same attention despite the slow-motion showing the double whammy effect on Edouard. Alan Power comes in from his right with Gary Dicker a fraction later from the left as the Celtic striker is body checked out of the way.
Edouard did manage to add a second goal after his penalty with Ajeti scoring in the 86th minute to demonstrate that his goal instinct is still alive and well.
