Paul Lambert has blasted a number of refereeing decisions during yesterday's Liverpool vs Celtic legends clash.

The Anfield clash saw the Reds run out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Steven Gerrard and Mark Gonzalez.

Former Rangers boss Gerrard celebrated wildly as he opened the scoring and made a beeline towards the visiting Celtic support.

Lambert was the manager of the Celtic side and he was far from impressed with the standard of officiating.

He called out a Fabio Aurelio handball before contesting the Hoops' disallowed goal.

He said: "At one point I thought Michael Jordan was out there playing. The handball? Everybody saw that. You didn’t need VAR for that, Shaquille O'Neal [former basketball player] would have been proud of that jump. It was just an unbelievable decision.

"The offside goal, I don’t know how a ball can go out the pitch and then hit the front of the bar?

"Unless there was a hurricane in that goalmouth, I don’t know? I think some decisions went against them.

“The guys worked so hard and played really well. They are ex-sportsmen so will always have that competitive edge with them. It was a great atmosphere, the Celtic fans were outstanding. It was a fitting game for a great cause."

On his penalty and celebration, Gerrard explained yesterday: "It was definitely a penalty. Martin Skrtel's excellent - bursting through like a marauding midfielder. Stonewall penalty.

"There was only one taker from there and that's me, in front of the Celtic fans. A little bit of pressure, I waited for [the goalkeeper Artur Boruc] to go, and you have to milk it. I've had so much stick off them so they can have a bit back. There you go.

"It [the fundraiser] wouldn't be so successful without the support of the fans, and to be fair to Celtic - they turned up in their numbers today. It's been a really enjoyable day."

Gary McAllister, who was Gerrard's assistant manager at Ibrox, also thanked the Celtic fans. He said, "It's a fantastic thing that Celtic brought 4,000 all the way down from Scotland to come and support the foundation. It supports Celtic's foundation as well."
