Hogh believed he had finally grabbed his first goal since August before the intervention wiped it out.

And Sky Sports refereeing expert Dermot Gallagher believes there was no way back once officials had identified Baur's foul.

He said: “I think once you go back and see that, it’s always going to be disallowed because they say it’s a foul.

“You go back, you see it and you can’t unsee it.”

Meanwhile, Hogh’s frustration was clear after seeing what would have been his first Celtic goal in 16 games chalked off. The Dane finished from seven yards after being picked out by Benjamin Nygren, only for VAR to spot Baur’s challenge on Greg Kiltie earlier in the move.

The decision split opinion. Simon Donnelly branded the call “soft”, while James McFadden admitted the challenge had looked clean in real time. Peter Grant, however, backed the officials, insisting Baur had not won the ball and it was a clear free-kick.

Liam Scales’ first-half strike ultimately proved enough to seal Celtic’s 1-0 victory.
