Nico Kuhn has admitted he didn't even know he was booked as he raced to celebrate his winner with Celtic supporters in Dingwall.
The winger scored the crucial goal with just three minutes left as Celtic claimed a comeback win over Ross County to continue their flawless start to the Scottish Premiership season.
Kuhn cut inside and fired into the bottom corner before sprinting to embrace supporters in the away end.
The Celtic ace had already been booked in the 50th minute but avoided a second yellow as Kevin Clancy keep his cards in his pocket for the celebrations.
Sky Sports pundit Kris Boyd suggested a red card should have been produced as he groaned over the refereeing.
He said: "The rules must have changed because I thought he got booked. The rules must have changed..."

Kuhn, though, insisted he wasn't even aware he was on a yellow card despite being cautioned early in the second half.
Quizzed on whether he had any concerns of a sending-off, he said: "I didn't even know that I got a booking, I don't even know for what.
"I don't think I did something..."
And on his crucial winner, he added: "Unbelievable pass, I just had to finish it."
Brendan Rodgers was also quizzed on the celebrations but stated he had no worries of a second yellow.
The Celtic manager said: "No. Not at all. I don't know. I never noticed it."
