After another poor Celtic display, it’s John Beaton who has questions to answer.

Writing for The Celtic Blog, James Forrest strongly criticizes referee John Beaton following Celtic's match against Kilmarnock. Forrest argues that Beaton made two unacceptable officiating errors during the game: disallowing a goal scored by Kasper Høgh for an alleged foul, and initially awarding a free kick outside the penalty box instead of a penalty kick for a handball, which required VAR intervention to overturn.

Beyond officiating, the writer criticizes Celtic's overall performance, claiming the squad lacks rhythm due to heavy squad rotation under manager Martin O'Neill. Forrest also highlights Kilmarnock's physical approach under their manager McCann, noting that Celtic player Mika Bauer was forced off near the end of the match with an injury.
