WATCH: Celtic concede sickening penalty to worst dive you are likely to see

Disgraceful

Sean McMahon

This is terrible.

Celtic maintained their unbeaten record in this season’s Scottish Premier League as they drew 2-2 away to Ross County.

The Glaswegian side are pretty much on auto-pilot mode as they have already secured yet another SPL title.

The remaining games left for Brendan Rodger’s side are merely a formality.

Nevertheless, there was still a lot of drama in this game.

Scott Brown was shown a straight red at the end of the match for a lunge on Liam Boyce.

This incident all seemed to stem from the controversy which took place immediately beforehand.

The away side looked to ease out the game as they were 2-1 up after Patrick Roberts put them a goal to the good.

However, at 87 minutes, substitute Alex Schalk went down under an innocuous challenge from Erik Sviatchenko.

A penalty was awarded and Boyce dispatched the spot kick to tie up the scoreline.

On closer inspection, it was a blatant dive from Schalk and the referee completely fell for it.
