There was only one topic that Sky Sports wanted Ange Postecoglou to discuss after Celtic’s 1-0 win over Hearts.
This season the Celtic boss has barely been asked any questions about refereeing decisions but last night was different.
When Bobby Madden awarded 27 free kicks against a dominant Celtic at Pittodrie in October the Celtic boss wasn’t quizzed about his side’s poor discipline. When Stephen Welsh had to be substituted at Hampden after getting an elbow in the jaw nothing was made of it.
In the first SPFL game of the season you’d be hard pushed to find a reference to the Celtic ‘goal’ wrongly flagged for offside.
Last night however Sky Sports and BBC Scotland couldn’t let it go over the marginal offside call that Kyogo Furuhashi scored from. The rarely used pundit Christophe Berra said that it was too close to call, Kris Boyd, expectedly, thought differently.
Postecoglou could tell that the interviewer only had thoughts for one moment in the 95 minutes.
??”It’s a goal. I’ll let it go and let our performances speak for themselves.”
Here’s what Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou made of Kyogo’s winner and the 1-0 victory over Hearts. What did you make of it?? pic.twitter.com/wooftM4raA

It’s a goal, mate. I mean I… it’s a weekly…I’ll let it go, mate. I’ll let our performances speak for themselves. If people think that the referee decided this game, well, that is their analysis.
Sky Sports will be back with Celtic on Sunday for the away match at Dundee United.
Don’t remember him screaming for VAR when this goal got chopped off? That would have put us 2-1 up at Tynecastle pic.twitter.com/9of17hlFDs
