Brendan Rodgers spots Celtic clue that the ball wasn't out as boss demands VAR proof

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Raging Brendan Rodgers has demanded to see definitive proof that Celtic’s controversially disallowed Easter Road equaliser should not have stood.The Parkhead boss thought his side had mounted a remarkable recovery from two goals down in Leith when Daizen Maeda slammed home with seven minutes left.

But it was Hibs left celebrating when VAR official Alan Muir stepped in to order referee Steven McLean to chalk the goal off after insisting the ball was out of play before Alastair Johnston had crossed to his Japanese team-mate.That debatable decision incensed Hoops gaffer Rodgers, who claimed the angles of the TV replays failed to show clear evidence that the ball had definitely crossed the line.

He marched onto the pitch at full-time and could be seen giving McLean a finger wagging. And speaking afterwards, the Irishman continued to vent as he said: “I'm hoping to see conclusive evidence that it was out.“The linesman on this side clearly had one of the best views in the ground.

And he kept his flag down, which tells me that he felt it was in. Not all of the ball was out. So if it's the case, then you've got to go and review it with VAR.“But then you're taking an angle from the 18-yard line.
