After his side had won at Kilmarnock on Friday night David Martindal enjoyed a day off in the BBC Scotland studio, joining anchor man Kenny Macintyre for Sportsound.
Leeann Crichton was also in the studio with Rory Loy on open-all-mics at Celtic Park as they bounced around the grounds covering the big incidents.
In the studio Macintyre likes to set the agenda, throw out the questions then take a back seat as expert pundits Martindale and Crichton share their expertise and insight into what is going on in the games, how players and managers will react.
VAR decisions and non-decisions have dominated Scottish football over the last three weekends with an early penalty decision against Celtic dominating the early stages of yesterday’s show.
BBC Radio Scotland listens to the commentary.

Kenny Macintyre: They’ll have more chances in this game
David Martindale: Ah’m no sure Kenny, looking at this honestly
K Mci: No?
D M: No, ah’m no sure
Leeann Crichton: No, I would agree with Davie, I don’t think you can ever say indefinitely that Celtic won’t get another chance but with the changes they’ve made as the game has gone on they just look as if they are lacking a bit of cutting edge.
DM: Ran out of ideas a wee bit
L C: Going forward, yip (in reply to Martindale). I think, Dundee United, the question will be can they hold on, can they make better decisions because they’ve given away an awful lot of corners in this game as well. Needless corners at times
And I spoke earlier Kenny and I hope that it’s not too soon, VAR had been quiet today, I maybe said that, peeked too soon, there’s always time for it.
DM: It’s been big substitutions
Rory Loy: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, GOAL FOR CELTIC
DM: Take that back
RL: A corner comes in, it’s been flicked on and that man Kyogo, Dundee United will be sick of the sight of him after the hat-trick at Tannadice. He glances the header into the bottom corner, Celtic do it again, it’s Celtic 3 Dundee United 2.
DM: That’s what the big players do,
KM: Unbelievable, I mean you just, they won’t get another chance you know…
RL: Disco lights are on
KM: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
There was another goal to come in the match with Liel Abada scoring Celtic’s fourth goal to give the hoops a seven point lead at the end of a highly eventful day for the team at BBC Sportsound.
