SFA belatedly issue Celtic penalty verdict as VAR advice changed after Motherwell 'handball' error

SFA admits VAR error in Celtic's denied penalty v Motherwell; handball should have been awarded.

Willie Collum, the SFA's Head of Refereeing Operations, has acknowledged that Celtic should have been awarded a penalty during their 2-0 win over Motherwell when Lukas Fadinger's arm blocked Callum McGregor's shot. Referee Steven McLean and VAR official Don Robertson both failed to intervene, but Collum told Sky Sports' VAR Review Show that the handball was clear and the arm was in an unnatural position. The SFA has now updated its coaching guidance to ensure similar incidents are correctly penalised going forward.
