Celtic players, fans and pundits couldn’t believe what they witnessed in the 13th minute of today’s win over Ross County. 

Leading by a Giorgos Giakoumakis header the home side were looking to build on that early breakthrough. 

Switching to the left flank to pick up a short corner Jota had Joe Hungbo in panic mode just inside the penalty box. As he looked up to deliver his cross Hungbo raised his arm to block the ball- right in front of referee Don Robertson. 

Amazing play continued as the ball broke to Daizen Maeda, Robertson was 15 yards away with an uninterrupted view of the incident. 

Celtic were 3-0 in front after 25 minutes, the penalty non-decision didn’t turn out to be decisive but every goal counts and Celtic were denied a clear penalty. 

Later in the match Robertson did award a penalty but nothing covers up for the fact that he had a clear view of a deliberate handball and decided not to point to the penalty spot.

    The only people who can at least try to sort this is our club, and they simply refuse to stand up for us fans. Our board need a total overhaul. Disgraceful.
