Boyd Ribs Celtic's Appeal Response to Auston Trusty Red Card

Celtic contests the red card issued after a video assistant referee review, arguing the foul did not deny a clear goalscoring chance, with appeal lodged to the Scottish Football Association.

  • On Sunday, Celtic Football Club confirmed it will appeal to the SFA over Auston Trusty's red card after VAR intervened during the 2-2 draw at Tynecastle, backing manager Martin O'Neill.
  • Referee Steven McLean initially showed a yellow before consulting the pitchside monitor, then upgraded to red for Trusty's foul on Pierre Landry Kabore with Celtic leading 2-1 in the final 15 minutes.
  • Speaking after the game on Sunday, a fuming O'Neill said: `We scored a really fine goal`, criticising the decision, while Boyd defended it, saying `That is the laws of the game and it is a red card`.
  • The Hoops left Tynecastle with a 2-2 draw, feeling the red card cost them all three points after leading twice, as Celtic said.
  • Former referees and pundits challenged the VAR intervention, with Roache saying Beaton had no right to re-referee and the dispute persisted 24 hours later.
