Overview
- Hibs midfielder Joe Newell’s equaliser, which drew Celtic level Sunday at Easter Road, was upheld after a VAR check found no conclusive handball evidence.
- The SFA told broadcasters the video angles did not prove handball clearly enough to overturn the on‑field decision to award the goal.
- VAR official Don Robertson had earlier sent referee David Dickinson to the monitor for a challenge by Jamie McGrath, which was upgraded from a booking to a red card.
- Kelechi Iheanacho came off the bench to score a late winner in the second half as Celtic won 2-1 and drew level with Hearts at the top of the Premiership.
- Former referees and pundits split on the incident, with some saying replays showed arm contact and others calling the footage inconclusive, while Newell said he was unsure about any touch as debate over a subjective handball law continued.
