Kelechi Iheanacho has been absolved of a foul in the build-up to his goal against Dundee.
The Nigerian striker came up with the goods when Celtic were searching for a winner at Dens Park, to keep them in the title race.
He collected a cross, held off defender Ryan Astley and fired past home goalkeeper Jon McCracken.
However, there have been claims that it was a push on the centre-back and a still image has been shared around showing two hands on Astley from Iheanacho, with people questioning why VAR didn't get involved.
Former referee Des Roache wasn't buying that though and says there wasn't enough contact to warrant a foul.

He told the Daily Record: "You look at that still there and it doesn't look great. But football's a physical sport.
"I'm not jumping in to give a foul there and tellingly, not one Dundee player even looked for a foul while the game was on. That's not a foul. 100 per cent it's not a foul.
"If it's given as a foul, VAR isn't going to overrule it. But VAR is only there to comment on clear and obvious errors. So what's happened there is an opinion, and we share the same opinion.
"If I was VAR and the referee gave a foul, I could support it and say you know what? Yeah he's shoved him, he's nudged him.
"But it's just absolutely not. And Iheanacho looking and waiting to see what's going to happen, that's a symptom of where we are with VAR; they're not sure they can celebrate a goal. I've got no issue with the decision at all.
"Not just Astley, but you look at the goalkeeper and the players surrounding him, nobody is looking for a foul."
