According to Belfast Live, McCoist voiced his frustration over Celtic's winning goal, claiming it was offside. He suggested that VAR official Chris Graham needs an urgent eye test. McCoist believes Benjamin Nygren's decisive goal in Celtic's hard-fought 2-1 victory was offside.
Video replay lines indicated that Benjamin Nygren was behind the last defender. Aberdeen manager Peter Leven was incensed, questioning why only one line was drawn by the video replay team. The initial footage from Sky seemed to suggest that Nygren's goal could have been disallowed.
