Celtic supporters have aimed a banner blast towards Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross during today's Scottish Cup clash against St Mirren.
The Green Brigade group unfurled a huge banner as the opening goal of the game was checked by VAR.
Daizen Maeda fired into the back of the net and a banner was then shown in the stands. It read: "VAR DECISION: DOUGLAS ROSS IS A C***".
Ross was working as a linesman during the match on the Main Stand side of the Parkhead pitch.
The match was shown live on Viaplay and commentator Rory Hamilton was forced to apologise if any viewers were offended by the message.
Co-commentator Michael Stewart added: "VAR is very controversial, Rory!".
