🗣️ CELTIC ROBBED AGAIN? THE SHOCKING MOMENT VAR DENIED HASSAN A CLEAR GOAL
Celtic fans have been left furious after another controversial VAR decision appeared to deny the club what many supporters believe was a perfectly legitimate goal. The incident involving Hassan quickly became the biggest talking point, with questions once again being raised about the consistency and transparency of video refereeing.
The moment came during a crucial stage of the match when Hassan found the back of the net, sparking celebrations among the Celtic players and supporters. However, the excitement was short-lived. The referee was alerted to a possible infringement, and VAR intervened to review the situation.
After the review, the goal was ruled out.
For Celtic supporters, that decision was difficult to accept. Many felt there was not enough evidence to overturn what had initially appeared to be a goal. The frustration was amplified by the fact that the decision came at a potentially decisive moment in the match.
Hassan’s reaction reflected the disappointment on the pitch. Having believed he had given his team a major boost, the forward was instead forced to watch the goal disappear from the scoreboard. His teammates also appeared frustrated as Celtic attempted to regain their focus and continue the contest.
The controversy has inevitably reopened the wider debate surrounding VAR. The technology was introduced to reduce major refereeing errors and provide officials with another opportunity to make the correct decision. Yet moments like this continue to raise questions about whether VAR is actually creating more controversy than it resolves.
For Celtic, the issue is particularly sensitive. Supporters already have strong opinions about previous refereeing decisions involving the club, meaning another disputed call can quickly reignite claims that the team is being treated unfairly.
However, while emotions are understandably high, the key question remains whether the officials had sufficient evidence to disallow Hassan’s goal. VAR is not supposed to replace the referee’s judgment completely, but rather assist in correcting clear and obvious errors. That distinction makes every controversial intervention open to intense scrutiny.
Social media quickly became flooded with reactions from Celtic supporters, with many demanding a clearer explanation of exactly why the goal was cancelled. Some questioned the camera angles used during the review, while others argued that the evidence did not justify overturning the on-field decision.
Whatever the final interpretation, the incident has once again placed VAR at the centre of attention.
For Hassan, the disappointment will undoubtedly linger. For Celtic, however, there is little time to dwell on it. The team must move forward, maintain concentration and focus on the result.
Still, one thing is certain: the debate surrounding Hassan’s disallowed goal is far from over. Celtic fans will continue asking the same question – was it really the right decision, or has Celtic been robbed again?
