Celtic forward Daizen Maeda was denied an opening goal against St Johnstone by VAR.
The Japanese winger looked to have sent Celtic ahead in Perth with a brilliant volley into the top corner.
However, the goal was chopped off after a VAR check with Don Robertson overturning the award to penalise a foul.

Centre-back Auston Trusty was ruled to have fouled Graham Carey in the box before Maeda fired home.
Replays show a collision between Trusty and Carey as the ball is crossed into the box with the St Johnstone player left on the turf.
After reviewing the incident on the pitchside monitor, Robertson signalled for a free-kick with the goal disallowed.

Pundit Michael Stewart - on co-commentary for the match - reckons it was the wrong outcome as he viewed the incident as no more than a "coming together".
"Trusty is making a run round the back," said Stewart analysing the incident. "It's a real sore one but that's not a free-kick, for me.
"It's a collision, it's a coming together - two players that are running in separate directions.
"For me, that's the wrong decision."
