Ibrox was witness to an Old Firm classic in the 3-3 draw, but the Wolves loanee drew criticism for seemingly making his way to the ground before Celtic defender Alistair Johnston made contact with him in the box. Captain James Tavernier converted the subsequent penalty in the 55th minute to halve Celtic’s advantage and make it 2-1 after referee John Beaton initially gave Silva a yellow card for simulation.Following a VAR check and Beaton rewatching the incident on the touchline, a penalty was awarded.
