Arne Engels directs Celtic anger in different direction after VAR drama as Aberdeen set to feel full force of Hibs fury

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Arne Engels reckons the VAR should have switched-off from Celtic’s late Leith drama. But the Belgian is adamant the angry champions are determined to turn full title force straight back on against Aberdeen.Brendan Rodgers fumed at full-time in Edinburgh after seeing a potential equaliser from Daizen Maeda ruled out by a screen call.

Having hauled Celtic back into the game at 2-1, the Japanese ace then looked to have levelled seven minutes from time when thrashing home after Hibs failed to deal with an Alistair Johnston cross.Stand-side assistant David Roome was nearby and saw nothing amiss, but VAR Alan Muir got involved and informed referee Steven MacLean the ball had crept over the byeline and out of play before the Canadian centred.

That incensed Celtic with the manager looking to be shown conclusive proof. It was Engels who fed Johnston and the right-back’s version of events were clear to his colleagues as the midfielder revealed: “He [Johnston] said it [the ball] was in. "We also saw the images back and you cannot really see if it’s out or not.

I think, for me, you need to rely on the referees and not on the VAR then because he cannot see it. We all thought it was in.
