Celtic saw two goals ruled out by VAR during their League Cup semi-final match against Kilmarnock at Hampden on Saturday.

The Hoops went 1-0 up within 20 minutes through Daizen Maeda at a rain-drenched national stadium.

Ange Postecoglou's men came roaring out the blocks after the break and scored twice within around 15 minutes through Reo Hatate and Maeda.

Both were ruled out after VAR checks. You can watch them below.

When Postecoglou was asked about the disallowed goals after the match, he replied simply: "They were offside."

The Celtic boss went on to praise the manner in which his men coped with adverse weather and a poor pitch.

He added: "I just thought it was a battle. It was an arm wrestle. It was a cup semi-final played in trying conditions where we never going to get open space and be able to play through them as the conditions and their application to their gameplay didn't allow us.

"Your ultimate goal is to overcome whatever you need to do out there and this team have consistently done that and that is why we are in this position. We rarely lose because whatever is thrown at us this group of players as a collective find a way to get the job done."
