Celtic came away from Perth on Sunday afternoon with three crucial league points thanks to goals from Callum McGregor, Matt O’Riley, and James Forrest. It was a pivotal victory for the Bhoys who had contrasting performances in each half.
In the second 45, the Celts came to life although in the opening half, they were as poor as they have been all season. They had little to no opportunities, their best perhaps coming from a free-kick.
For said set-piece, St. Johnstone made up a wall. In football, the gap between where the free-kick is being taken from and where the wall is should be ten yards.
It certainly didn’t appear to be that when Luis Palma stepped up around ten minutes in, and further proof was added to the pudding when the image was put up alongside a free-kick Newcastle had at the weekend, where the gap was ten yards:
10 yards in England vs 10 yards in Scotland. Maybe we need some taller refs… pic.twitter.com/4Ksdgm9JO2

There is a staggering difference between the two, and it is no wonder McGregor was on the case of referee Don Robertson at the time of the incident. It likely wouldn’t have had an impact on the game, although the lack of accuracy from the officials is concerning.
I think Sutty vomited on the Refs tiny steps
