The Rangers striker hit the back of the net but his goal was ruled out following a VAR review.
Robbie Savage says kudos to Celtic for winning at Ibrox but that Rangers were 'robbed' of a perfectly good goal through Kemar Roofe.
The Ibrox side thought they had taken the lead somewhat against the run of play when Roofe slammed home after 30 minutes but following a VAR review, referee Don Robertson made the decision to rule out the finish for a foul in the build up by Cyriel Dessers on Celtic defender Gustaf Lagerbielke. It irked the home crowd and Michael Beale as Kyogo's goal proved to be the difference in front of no travelling support inside Ibrox.
Referees past and present, pundits and players all responded to the incident but for Savage it was an 'awful' call made during the heat of the derby as he ripped in to VAR's application across the UK. Hoops hero Chris Sutton was urged to 'get off the fence' by his co-host but the Sky Sports pundit admits it was a 'subjective' decision.
Savage told 5 Live Sport: "Celtic played well Christopher [Sutton] but Roofe was robbed of a perfectly good goal. Get off the fence, it should have been a goal. That was a shocking VAR decision to be fair Chris, let's be fair. It was a terrible, terrible decision. VAR in Scotland and in England it is awful."
Sutton responded: "I would've been disappointed if I was on the Rangers team, but you know what it was a subjective call. 50/50 call and bigger picture here Rob - Michael Beale - his Rangers team went out of Europe at a whimper this week. Spanked by their greatest rivals in their own backyard, no Celtic fans allowed. Where are Rangers heading under Michael Beale?"
