David Tanner has explained the reasons why Celtic have had seven penalties awarded against them since VAR was introduced to the SPFL Premiership in mid-October.
The former Sky Sports presenter doesn’t offer an explanation for any other statistics such as why the club in second place hasn’t had a penalty awarded against them under VAR, this season or since January 2022.
Celtic are currently 27 goals better off than their city rivals after 29 matches, of the 21 goals that Celtic have lost in the SPFL a third of them have come from the penalty spot.
Willie Collum will referee Celtic’s match away to Ross County on Sunday.
“Celtic had not conceded a penalty before the introduction of VAR but have lost seven since October”.
Here’s what that ACTUALLY means:
Being a big club, Celtic got away with a lot as refs were influenced by crowds & pressure via the media.
7 fouls = 7 pens.
VAR is a leveller. https://t.co/fp6DcrFtWQ
