KMI panel say VAR was wrong to intervene on Daizen Maeda goal

The Scottish FA'S Key Match Incident panel believe the decision to disallow a potential equaliser for Celtic against Hibs last weekend was wrong.

Daizen Maeda's strike was ruled out following a review.

VAR Alan Muir judged the ball had gone out of play before Alistair Johnston crossed it into the box.

The goal was initially given before an intervention from Clydesdale House.

Questions have been raised about whether the angle used by Muir shows conclusive enough proof to show the ball was definitely over the line.

The notes from the KMI panel findings read: "The majority (4:1) of the panel deemed the on-field decision of goal to be correct.

"They felt the factual VAR intervention for the ball being out of play was incorrect. One panel member felt VAR was correct to intervene as they believed one of the angles showed the ball out of play."
