Dundee United striker Nadir Ciftci has claimed that “nothing happens to the players of Celtic”.
In a television interview, the Turk has insisted that visiting teams to Celtic Park have to deal with the fact that “there are going to be loads of decisions which are not going to come for you”.
“It doesn’t matter what I think,” Ciftci told STV. “Even when anyone outside Scottish football says – and they have said – that the game with Scott Brown was a bad challenge – nothing happens. Nothing happens to the players of Celtic.
“So we’ve got to deal with it. When you go out to play against Celtic and especially at Celtic Park there are going to be loads of decisions which are not going to come for you.”
He added: “Most of the time it’s going to be against you and we have to be up for that. You have to be ready for that and it doesn’t matter what I think because it’s not going to change. Nothing is going to happen.
“It doesn’t matter what I think or what other people think because it’s never going to change. So you’ve just got to deal with it, create our own luck on the pitch and ignore when the referee makes his decision on the pitch.”
