Dundee United manager Craig Levein has questioned the referee's decision to award Celtic a free-kick which led to their equaliser in 1-1 draw at Parkhead.
Darren Dods was penalised for handling the ball when blocking Scott Brown's cross and from the resulting free-kick, Scott McDonald equalised to cancel out David Goodwillie's opener.
However, Levein is insistent that it was not a free-kick.
He said: "I had a great view of it. I watch football on television 24/7 and nowadays that is not a free-kick.
"If Darren Dods is eight to 10 yards away and puts his hand up to try and stop the ball then I can accept that but he was too close to the ball to have been judged to deliberately handle it.
"And I've yet to see anybody who can jump to try and block a cross with his hands by their side."

Celtic are always getting the decisions in the SPL and have been for as long as I can remember. I love seeing those decisions going against them in Europe so they know what it feels like! United can't complain though as the one at the end was a definate penalty. United bossed the game from the start though and I see a top 2 finish for us this season.
