Seeing as we now have a final against Celtic next month, here’s just some of the absolute madness calls they’ve had at Hampden over the years in games. Incompetence, cheating, pressure getting to officials, call it whatever you want.
Motherwell 0-2 Celtic - 2017 League Cup Final - Sinclair dives for a penalty at 0-0, receives it and Motherwell scandalously go down to 10 men.
Hearts 0-3 Celtic - 2018 League Cup Semi-Final - Ryan Christie dives for a penalty early in the second half, score is 0-0 and Willie Collum awards Celtic a penalty.
Hearts 1-2 Celtic - 2019 Scottish Cup Final - Hearts leading 1-0, Odsonne Edouard dives over the keeper in the box and is awarded a penalty by Willie Collum. Yet another disgraceful decision
Rangers 0-1 Celtic - 2019 League Cup Final - Just the three Celtic players offside from a dead ball for the winner.
Hibs 1-2 Celtic - 2021 League Cup Final - Furuhashi was offside for Celtic’s equaliser. John Beaton then denies Hibs an absolute stonewall penalty in the last few minutes at 2-1 when Starfelt pushed Ryan Porteous to the ground
Celtic 1-2 Rangers - 2022 Scottish Cup Semi-Final - Rangers might’ve won this game but don’t ever forget Celtic nearly scored despite Daizen Maeda being 5 YARDS offside. Celtic also scored from a quick free kick that wasn’t even a foul!
Celtic 2-0 Kilmarnock - 2023 League Cup Semi-Final - Kilmarnock were denied an absolute stonewall penalty at 1-0 in stoppage time when the Greek striker wrestled the Kilmarnock player to the ground. Willie Collum and VAR blatantly ignore it and Celtic then go up the other end of the park and score to seal their place in the final.
Aberdeen 3-3 Celtic - 2024 Scottish Cup Semi-Final - Kyogo clearly fouls the Aberdeen player which led to the first goal and just. the two clear penalties denied to the sheep yesterday. Apparently he he wasn’t giving for a foul on Johnston yet it’s clearly not a foul.
No doubt about it, we’re going to have to beat Celtic and whoever the officials are (probably Clancy or Collum) to win this cup next month. The decisions they get in big games with high stakes is embarrassing.
