'Had a guess': Brendan Rodgers reacts to disallowed Maeda equaliser vs Hibs

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has reacted to Daizen Maeda's disallowed equaliser at Easter Road this afternoon.

The Japanese attacker thought he drew the Parkhead side level late on, only for VAR to intervene and rule that the ball was out of play in the build-up.

The Parkhead side went on to lose 2-1 as Josh Campbell's brace proved decisive.

Speaking post-match, Rodgers reacted to Maeda's disallowed goal, which would've drawn his side level: "My take is that the (VAR) official Alan Muir has had a guess at it", he said (Premier Sports).

"The linesman arguably has the best view in the stadium and he doesn't give it (as out of play). 

"So for that to get overturned, then I'm assuming there's an absolutely clear image of the ball being out of play.

"So that's a huge disappointment."

After today's defeat, Celtic turn their attention to the visit of Aberdeen to Glasgow's east end on Tuesday evening.

This afternoon saw Rodgers' side suffer only their second league defeat of the season, although they will be eager to get back to winning ways when they return to play on home soil midweek.

The games keep coming thick and fast for Celtic, who will look to quickly put their loss in Leith behind them.
