Ross County manager Jim McIntyre said he was
disappointed with referee Willie Collum’s decision not to send
goalkeeper Craig Gordon off as his side were beaten 2-0 by Celtic.
Midway through the first half, Hoops stopper Gordon raced
from his box and fouled County’s Jackson Irvine after the midfielder had
rounded the Scotland internationa
“I think the interpretation is a clear, obvious goal-scoring
opportunity,” McIntyre said. “For me, if Jackson stays on his feet, he’s
got great speed of movement, then he’ll be able to wrap his foot around
it.
“If it was at a tight angle I could maybe understand that,
but from our point of view we are really disappointed with that
decision.
“I think when you freeze it (Virgil) Van Dijk is still outside the
box. It is hypothetical because we will never know, the referee has
deemed it not to be obvious so he has not given it.
“We are disappointed with that because we felt it was a big moment in the match.”

went on to make some important saves in the second half despite Celtic
ultimately easing to a fairly straightforward win, but McIntyre was
happier with his side’s showing after the interval.
He added: “In
the second half we asked the players to show more belief, especially in
the final third, and get bodies forward and Craig Gordon has had a few
saves to make, so a far better performance second half.”
