Luis Palma's celebrations were cut short after scoring for Celtic against Lazio, with VAR ruling out his strike for offside.BRENDAN RODGERS has explained his decision to play Yang over Luis Palma from the start of the defeat to Lazio in the Champions League, saying he thought the South Korean’s greater physical attributes would prove a valuable asset against the Italian side.
The Honduran made a real impression and thought he had taken Celtic within minutes of their first Champions League home win for a decade as his low shot found the bottom corner of Ivan Provedel’s net, only for VAR to rule out the goal for offside after the faintest of touches on the ball from Daizen Maeda.When asked why Yang had been given the nod over Palma in the starting XI, Rodgers said: “A bit more physicality.
“We have obviously moved the wingers around to look at the best possibilities for us in the games. But I thought Luis looked good when he came on and had some really good moments.
