TÍTULO MANCHADO
É com essas palavras que o Jornal renomado L'Équipe (da França) denomina a atual conquista do CELTIC na Scottish Premiership. Eu fico triste, pois foi a primeira vez desde muito tempo que o futebol escocês teve a sua devida atenção aos olhos do mundo e tenha acabado dessa forma. Arbitragem interferindo no resultado do campeonato

A red card not given to a Celtic player later confirmed to be the wrong decision by the KMI Panel.
A penalty not given to Hearts later to be confirmed as the wrong decision by the KMI Panel.

Any one of these decisions being gave correctly and Hearts are champions for the first time in 40 years.
But a couple of apologies and everybody has to pretend it’s ok??
Country’s a laughing stock.
My network of football fan and sport industry bod is NOT in Scotland. I’d suggest less blinkered and biased in seeing things.
Everyone single one of them knew this was the worst call of all time. And why everyone of them wanted hearts to win.
Wonder if they'll release the audio from this moment too at 99:30? All week people had assumed this was Don Robertson asking McInnes if the Hearts players were returning to the pitch. Clearly can't be that since he already had confirmation of that over 90 seconds earlier.
All that Audio confirms is that the game was stopped due to players safety so what punishment will Celtic be getting then for causing this ? The sfa are an embarrassment to our game
Well done to Celtic for making the most of the opportunity presented to them, but…
Make no mistake, this title holds no value whatsoever.
Anyone with eyes can see it was robbed from Hearts through incompetent (and potentially corrupt) officiating.
@HeraldSportScot@heraldscotland@mcgowan_stephen Why seek talks with the government? Why not deal with the teams whose fans do pitch invasions, Deal with the cheating referees, deal with the shambles of a game yesterday? This is why the SPFL and the SFA are now a worldwide joke, and Scottish football is deemed a joke
From an Australian football perspective, this Celtic/Hearts situation matters even more with Aussie involvement at Hearts. 🇦🇺🏴
If the reports are accurate and the match abandonment stemmed from Celtic supporter actions, then Scottish football authorities should apply the rules exactly as written. No grey area, no special treatment.
Rules are there to protect the integrity of the competition, and if responsibility lies with one side’s supporters, the outcome should reflect that. That would mean Hearts of Midlothian being awarded the result.
With Australian eyes closely following our players abroad, consistency and accountability in major leagues matter. The badge involved shouldn’t change how regulations are enforced.
