Even Michael Stewart said it was a pen.

I mean, the Dessers and Morelos ones I was willing to accept, even though I think it's a bullshit rule, based on the player who kicked being in control of the ball first and the "offending" player jumps in front of him but doesn't touch the ball before being kicked. However, here, Carter-Vickers isn't in control of the ball first. There's no difference between that scenario there and a through ball being played down the line and the defender goes to kick the ball away but kicks the attacking player first. A free kick is given for that.

Just win

Having watched celtic today vs Aberdeen it's reminded how poor they are.  They conceded the exact same goal twice - a cross to the back post.   Carter-Vickers is so overrated. Done by a simple pass to the wrong side of him within 2 minutes.  Terrible at defending crosses.  Lucky not to concede a penalty with a clearance that turned into a wild boot on Junior Hoilet.   Scales, not much better.  Calum McGregor spends an awful lot of time blaming his own players for his mistakes, usually a hospital ball he's squared across his own back 4. Kyogo cant's seem to get into games under Rodgers.  The guy Idah seems to be an ok finisher but when you see him try to link up or cross the ball...well there's a reason he's a Norwich reject and doesn't start.   This is the poorest celtic side since they were managed by that Ronnie guy who used to strip down to his Y-fronts.  They'll drop points in more than 1 game before the season ends.   The bigger problem is wether or not we can actually find the kind of form we'd need to win the last 5.

The game in Scotland is broken. The spfl was set up in 2012 after we were gone to benefit one team and it continues... I have no idea how we fix it, but it's not an even playing field.  Us not being a good team is an entirely different topic. You will never see a more blatant penalty NOT given than that one anywhere in the world.
