Nick Walsh and Alan Muir opted against using VAR to award Hibs a penalty at Ibrox tonight.
Leading 2-1 at half-time a high ball into the home penalty box early in the second half caused problems with James Sands all over the place.
Looking disorientated as the ball was dropping he raised his left arm with the ball striking him just above the elbow before it was cleared from danger.
Interesting how at 2-1 Hibs this isnt a penalty ?

Nick Walsh should have been able to view the incident but there were no excuses for VAR Tait not studying it, halting play and at least get Walsh to review the incident pitch-side. It seems that VAR is providing a double get out for the Ibrox Tribute Act.
Meanwhile across the city penalties have been awarded against Alexandro Bernabei and Matt O’Reilly for incidents where it was clearly cases of ball playing arm.
Steven McLean will referee Celtic’s match at Aberdeen on Saturday with Kevin Clancy searching for obscure handball incidents in the hoops penalty area.
Micky Beale’s all-stars took advantage of the penalty reprieve to run out 3-2 winners.
We all see it, we all know it and we can clearly see, no handball allowed at Ipox. I chose Sevco 3-2 Hibees. I based that result on the , if the visitors are better, make sure the decisions for the home side are even better. Ha-ho, Superbru 3points for me. The fact of the matter is simple, don’t let the Ipox lose.
More less pushed a hibs player to the ground turned around then pushed another hibs player, isn’t that violent conduct and a red… This was not even a yellow, he then goes on to score. Its called cheating. Expect more in the Aberdeen game
They’re UTTER SHITE, Hibeez shda been 5-1 up at HT! We will TEAR THEM TAE FUKIN SHREDS!!
For me anyway, at times it looked like Nick Walsh was chatting away with the deid klubs players, especially TavPen. Way too friendly for me.
That VAR needs to be called out by Celtic this cannot go unchallenged any longer, if they do nothing it’ll definitely get worse.
Unfortunately, it’s not in Ange’s job description
Editor: Not a chance of Bankier, Nicholson or Lawwell saying a word. They know that the SFA know the fat fingerprints all over the Five Way Agreement of 2012 to restore the O** F*** business model.
One our players , hand ball in the box on Saturday , same kinda handball
VAR check , boom , penalty
Just so predictable
hibs should have been well in front before halftime tbat bigot defence was all over the place. again help from the bent officals var a waste with these corrupt people running it celtic will run the bigots ragged when we meet come jan 23 hibs run out of puff 2nd half.
Shocking!
Double Standards. One Law for Them and one for everybody else!
The above shows me exactly why I was UTTERLY CORRECT to give up my season ticket and paying to watch a corrupt sport – Now Celtic weren’t directly cheated tonight only they were as the gap should be eight points but is now six – What next The Grampian Police cancelling Saturday to let The Huns and Their VAR team cut the gap to three – Don’t be surprised if the ‘weather’ sees that happen.
How I DETEST the country of my birth and how dearly I wish that I was born in Ireland or even England as they’re not as rancid as Scummy old Scotland and her filthy and murky operating ways !
My thoughts exactly. Game will get postponed on Saturday. Then rescheduled for a Wednesday night.
Canny be rescheduled fur Wed ngt as the FILTH are at Pittodrie Tues Ngt! Cd DEFO get Postponed tho but we’ll still play Livingston Wed ngt! They WON’T beat the Mogadons Tues no wae that defence.. Fukin WOEFUL!! We will Fukin HAMMER the Jan 2nd they’re aw over the place at the back & we’ve just too many good players! Another 7-1 beckons wae their consolation of course a penalty lol!
Never said this Wednesday.
Many times in the 1960’s were told to go home, I were not Scottish but Irish yet my dad his dad and my mums dad had fought under the Queens flag and colours. In the Merchant Navy I were down the Falklands.
These bigots deserve scorn, not my hate which takes energy.
Will never be friends with golk who want to be up to their knees in my blood
