Marek Suchy claims he did not push Georgios Samaras in the penalty area
SPARTAK MOSCOW defender Marek Suchy today blasted the penalty decision which sent Celtic through to the last 16 of the Champions League.
The Czech ace was judged to have pushed Georgios Samaras in the box late on and German whistler Dr Felix Brych pointed to the spot.
Kris Commons converted the penalty and the Hoops celebrated a famous success.
But Suchy claims the decision should have gone the other way. He said: "I made a move towards the ball and the Celtic player jumped into me. It was a clear free-kick the other way, but the referee didn't see it."
