We need to move on, claims Smith
Lafferty was shown a yellow card for the tackle during Sunday's 1-1 Scottish Premier League draw at Parkhead, although some commentators claimed the 22-year-old should have seen red for the offence.[LNB]Manager Smith told his club's official website: "I've seen the incident once since the game and Kyle's tackle was a forward's challenge.[LNB]"Everyone keeps saying the referee should have acted but the referee did act. He deemed it a yellow card offence and that was it.[LNB]"Over the last few seasons, we've gone to Celtic Park for some high-profile games and there have been some meaty challenges.[LNB]"This one seems to have attracted a lot of attention when a lot of others seem to have been ignored.[LNB]"I think there was a level of frustration in Kyle's challenge but the referee made his decision on it.[LNB]"It wasn't a great tackle to make but it wasn't the first time that kind of thing has happened in a football match.[LNB]"To be fair, Celtic got on with the game. I didn't see anyone from their side complaining bitterly about it. They just got on with things and we need to move on now."[LNB][LNB]
