Fuming Robbie Neilson claims Celtic rivals need players 'decapitated' to get a red card call at Parkhead
dailyrecord.co.ukRobbie Neilson insists rivals teams need to have a man DECAPITATED to get a red card at Celtic Park.The Hearts manager was left furious at Hoops defender Alexandro Bernabei getting let off the hook for a first half challenge on Nathanial Atkinson in his side’s 3-1 defeat in Glasgow.
