The former Rangers striker doesn't often defend the Hoops - but he stuck up for striker Kyogo on this occasion.
Celtic found a surprise ally in Rangers hero Kris Boyd over their penalty award against Hearts - before he stuck the boot into the struggling Jambos.
Reo Hatate would step up to take the spot kick but couldn't find the net as he struck Zander Clark's post from 12-yards out. However, the talking point wouldn't go away at full-time with former Hearts defender Ryan McGowan insisting it was the wrong call from referee Nick Walsh - and that he should have been told to review the decision by the VAR team.
A smirking Boyd then chimed in “If I’m saying it’s a penalty for Celtic you know it’s a penalty.” The Australian went on: I think he’s looking for it. I don’t think there’s much Cochrane can do about it and a little bit of justice that he misses it."
