Ross County boss Jim McIntyre: 'Craig Gordon should have been sent off'

Ross County boss Jim McIntyre admits that he was frustrated not to see Craig Gordon sent off in his side's 2-0 defeat to Celtic on the opening day of the season.

Ross County boss Jim McIntyre has revealed that he was disappointed with the decision of the referee not to dismiss Craig Gordon in his side's 2-0 defeat to Celtic.

The incident occurred in the first half when the Scotland international raced out of his box and brought down Jackson Irvine, but was only yellow-carded by Willie Collum as Virgil van Dijk was nearby.

Gordon went on to make crucial stops to deny County a way back into the game as they fell to a defeat of the opening day of the Scottish Premiership season.

"I think the interpretation is a clear, obvious goal-scoring opportunity," McIntyre told Sky Sports News. "For me, if Jackson stays on his feet, he's got great speed of movement, then he'll be able to wrap his foot around it.

"If it was at a tight angle, I could maybe understand that, but from our point of view we are really disappointed with that decision.

"I think when you freeze it, [Virgil] Van Dijk is still outside the box. It is hypothetical because we will never know, the referee has deemed it not to be obvious so he has not given it. We are disappointed with that because we felt it was a big moment in the match."

Leigh Griffiths and Stefan Johansen fired Ronny Deila's men to victory at Celtic Park.
