Nico Kuhn has admitted he didn't even know he was booked as he raced to celebrate his winner with Celtic supporters in Dingwall.
The winger scored the crucial goal with just three minutes left as Celtic claimed a comeback win over Ross County to continue their flawless start to the Scottish Premiership season.
Kuhn cut inside and fired into the bottom corner before sprinting to embrace supporters in the away end.
The Celtic ace had already been booked in the 50th minute but avoided a second yellow as Kevin Clancy keep his cards in his pocket for the celebrations.
Sky Sports pundit Kris Boyd suggested a red card should have been produced as he groaned over the refereeing.
He said: "The rules must have changed because I thought he got booked. The rules must have changed..."

Kuhn, though, insisted he wasn't even aware he was on a yellow card despite being cautioned early in the second half.
Quizzed on whether he had any concerns of a sending-off, he said: "I didn't even know that I got a booking, I don't even know for what.
"I don't think I did something..."
And on his crucial winner, he added: "Unbelievable pass, I just had to finish it."
Brendan Rodgers was also quizzed on the celebrations but stated he had no worries of a second yellow.
The Celtic manager said: "No. Not at all. I don't know. I never noticed it."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
