As the screen capture above shows, linesman Brian McGarry can be seen in line with McDonald and the six yard box as Nakamura puts the ball over, with McDonald and another Celtic players clearly offside.
In the same match, which Falkirk dominated for the entire 90mins, Falkirk were denied 3 penalties of which 2 were stonewallers. McManus also escaped punishment completely, after breaking the leg of Dean Holden in a reckless and aggressive challenge.
