Ally McCoist insists Chris Graham on VAR duty for Aberdeen vs Celtic requires an eye test.

The Rangers legend was left bemused as to why Benjamin Nygren's winning goal was allowed to stand at Pittodrie, as he claimed the Swede was standing in an offside position.

VAR reviewed footage of the Hoops winner, but deemed the attacker was marginally onside thanks to Gavin Molloy's foot.

The goal was eventually awarded, and Martin O'Neill's men ran out 2-1 winners in the north east to close the gap on Heart of Midlothian to five points.

McCoist said on talkSPORT: “Has anything changed after Celtic‘s half yard offside goal winner? You need to get a look at it, was Marty Feldman on VAR?

“Here’s one for the younger ones, look up Marty Feldman. Whoever was on VAR needs to get their eyeballs checked.”

Aberdeen interim boss Peter Leven said: “Their goal looks offside but why are there not two lines drawn?

“There was only one drawn. But listen, right now it’s not going for us, these decisions in the game.”
