Chris Sutton and Kris Boyd refused to agree on whether Celtic should have been awarded a penalty in the first half
Unsurprisingly Boyd refused to believe that Kyogo Furhashi was fouled despite Michael Devlin failing to touch the ball.
He said: [Sky Sports], “So, you had to look at it numerous times, still couldn’t make your mind up, so it’s not clear and obvious.
“That’s never a penalty, he’s already down before the contact is made. Watch him, already on the way down. He takes his leg and holds his ankle. Never a penalty.”
Sutton on the other hand was sympathetic towards Celtic for not being given the penalty.
He said: [Sky Sports], “I think Celtic will feel hard done by. I’ve had to look at this numerous times, myself.
“I am really surprised Don Robertson wasn’t sent over to the monitor to have a look. There is contact, Kyogo gets to the ball first, so I think it is a penalty.”
Celtic may have felt hard done by for not getting the penalty, but they didn’t let that affect them in the second half, scoring three goals against a resolute Livingston side.
With Rangers up next, Celtic seem to have found their form, setting the stage for arguably the biggest game of the season so far, next Sunday at Ibrox.
