'Too honest' Cameron could have earned penalty, says Leven

Peter Leven believed there was scope for an injury-time Aberdeen penalty when Reo Hatate dived into a tackle on Lyall Cameron during Celtic's 2-1 win at Pittodrie.

Midfielder Cameron rode the challenge but overran the ball as the hosts' late pressure failed to yield an equaliser.

"The players need to be a bit more streetwise," said interim boss Leven.

"Lyall needs to ask the question later on when Hatate goes in.

"I think he was too honest in trying to stay on his feet. There could have been contact there."

Leven was also unconvinced Benjamin Nygren was onside for his winner during a lengthy VAR check that ruled Gavin Molloy's foot was playing the Swede on.

"It looks offside, but then again, why is there not two lines drawn?" he said.

"There was only one line drawn on our player. I thought there was always to be two lines drawn."
