Assistant Alex Verstraeten said: “I admit to the mistakes, but we also ask for understanding. Offside decisions are the hardest to judge. We are only human flesh and blood.  This is the first time that we have made a mistake in 52 international matches.”

“It is our bad luck that the mistakes came at goals. It is no consolation that Manchester United would have won without these decisions. Some players argue their case in front of us, but no Celtic player protested.”
