Trusty red at Hearts gets on O'Neill's wick

  • At Tynecastle Park, Celtic and Hearts drew 2-2 after a late equaliser, with Auston Trusty sent off in the 77th minute following a VAR review upgrading his yellow card to red.
  • Referee Steven McLean initially booked Trusty with a yellow before VAR official John Beaton advised a pitchside review, leading to an upgrade to red for denying Kabore a clear goalscoring opportunity.
  • Celtic manager Martin O'Neill said `I did have an argument with the red card`, while pundits including Andy Halliday defended the VAR decision despite its subjective nature.
  • Claudio Braga's late strike ensured Hearts left with a point, leaving them six points clear with 15 matches remaining as Celtic dropped to third and Rangers moved above them.
  • O'Neill warned of strain on his depleted squad ahead of the transfer deadline after Kieran Tierney's exit and said signings are needed before the transfer window closes next Monday.
