adminRangers fans left in TEARS as VAR officially HUMILIATES Ibrox side at Parkhead with “CORRUPT” Celtic Goal Decision that changed EVERYTHING in Title Race
Celtic’s controversial equaliser against Rangers at Parkhead has sparked fury across the other side of Glasgow after VAR allowed Yang Hyun-jun’s first-half strike to stand despite huge protests from Danny Rohl’s players.
The flashpoint came during Sunday’s massive Old Firm showdown with Rangers leading early and looking in complete control of the game.
Celtic had struggled badly during the opening stages after Rangers silenced Parkhead with a fast start, but the entire mood of the afternoon shifted when Yang fired home the leveller before half-time.
What followed next caused absolute chaos.
Immediately after the ball hit the net, Rangers players surrounded referee Nick Walsh demanding the goal be disallowed. The main complaints centred around Daizen Maeda, who appeared to be standing in an offside position during the move and potentially interfering with play.
The VAR check dragged on as tension inside Celtic Park rose massively.
Rangers supporters watching on were convinced the goal would eventually be ruled out, especially after replays showed Maeda directly in the line of the attack as the ball came into the area.
Instead, VAR stunned everyone by awarding the goal.
The decision instantly changed the atmosphere inside the stadium.
Celtic Park erupted while Rangers players looked furious at what they believed was another massive officiating call going against them in a title-defining derby.
Even after the match, debate around the incident continued everywhere online, with furious Rangers fans branding the decision “a disgrace” and accusing officials of completely changing the direction of the game.
From that point onward, Celtic looked like a different side.
Martin O’Neill’s men grew into the match with far more confidence after the equaliser, while Rangers visibly lost momentum and composure. Daizen Maeda then took over in the second half with two huge goals, including a sensational overhead kick that effectively buried Rangers’ hopes.
For Danny Rohl, the defeat was already painful enough given the pressure surrounding Rangers coming into the derby.
But the controversial nature of Celtic’s equaliser has only added more anger among supporters who believe the game completely swung after the VAR call.
Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd was also left frustrated by several officiating moments throughout the match, particularly after Alistair Johnston escaped with only a yellow card for a dangerous tackle on Mikey Moore earlier in the game.
By full-time, Celtic had completed a massive 3-1 comeback victory in front of a roaring Parkhead crowd.
And while Rangers supporters continue raging over the VAR decision, Celtic fans simply see it as another unforgettable derby afternoon that could yet change the entire course of the title race.
