O'Neill Slams VAR 'Been Doing This for Years' After Celtic Lose to Hibs
Auston Trusty was sent off for violent conduct after a VAR review, and Hibs scored a late winner at Celtic Park, handing Celtic a 2-1 home defeat.
- At Celtic Park, Celtic lost 2-1 after Auston Trusty, Celtic centre-back, was sent off following a VAR pitchside review; Hibs substitute Kai Andrews scored the winner in the dying seconds.
- Grant Irvine ordered the pitchside review after referee Matthew MacDermid intended only to speak to players, and Celtic had already appealed a similar Auston Trusty red card last month at Tynecastle.
- Following the final whistle, O'Neill said, `I've spoken to him. At the end of it all, you can't do this. If that's the rules now, it doesn't matter if someone is holding onto you, in an attempt to breakaway, you can't thrust down in the manner in which he did to get away,` while Boyd called Trusty's action 'brainless' on Sky.
- The result deals a major blow to Celtic's title hopes as Hearts lead by four points and Auston Trusty faces a three-game ban, missing the derby against Rangers at Ibrox.
- Manager warning: O'Neill said VAR 're-refereeing' has been happening for years, amid tensions before the Old Firm match, with Celtic supporters and club hierarchy remaining frosty.
