Dermot Gallagher analyzes three key decisions involving Rangers and Celtic from recent Premiership matches.
Dermot Gallagher analyzed THREE decisions involving Rangers and Celtic over the weekend. Philippe Clement's team moved into second spot and closed the gap on Brendan Rodgers' leading team after the results in the Premiership . The Light Blues defeated Dundee at Ibrox by a single goal scored by Vaclav Cerny. Aberdeen's poor form continued with a home defeat to Hibs, putting them one point behind Rangers with one more game played.
Celtic drew in challenging conditions at Tannadice, maintaining their nine-point lead over Rangers at the top of the league. They are set to face off on January 2nd at Ibrox. The matches and incidents involving Cerny and Ianis Hagi were scrutinized, including a penalty appeal for Celtic. On Cerny's goal, Gallagher stated that while an early flag could have been raised, it was understandable why it wasn't. Flagging early would have stopped the play. He praised the officials for catching Hagi's offside goal in real-time. Gallagher also dismissed Celtic supporters' handball appeals in their draw with United, stating that the player had his hands by his side and couldn't avoid the ball
