Dundee United defender Kieran Freeman should have been sent off during the clash with Celtic according to the BBC Sportscene pundits.Ange Postecoglou's side restored their nine point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Tannadice.

The use of VAR was again a key talking point with referee Don Robertson overturning a first half penalty awarded to the visitors following goalkeeper Mark Birighitti's collision with Kyogo Furuhashi, after being sent to review the call on the monitor by Euan Anderson.With Celtic taking the lead through Jota's header in the second half, Anderson once again called for man in the middle Robertson to review a flashpoint after spotting a handball in the VAR room.

A lifted pass into the box by the Portuguese winger was stopped by Freeman's hand, and a penalty was awarded following a review - but both Martin Bartley and Neil McCann reckon the punishment could have been more severe.
