The SFA’s KMI panel have deemed the penalty awarded for Sam Nicholson’s “handball” to be incorrect. Had that match ended in a draw, Hearts would have won the league. We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: the worst VAR decision in history.

You just know that if Celtic had done this in a European game. Their feet wouldn't have touched the floor after being booted out the tournament by UEFA. Why in Scotland do we need to put up with football governance lacking any kind of back bone @ScottishFA ?

If Hearts go Legal. It's their Title. It's as simple as that. Your Statement has got this wrong on so many levels @ScottishFA Add to this, that Hearts would 100% have chosen to play out the remaining time plus stoppage time. Pitch invasion stopped that. wingsoverscotland.com/only-an-excuse/

“There’s a pitch invasion!” “We have a pitch invasion!” “Hearts want their players off the pitch!” Wasn’t abandoned! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ The laughing stock of world football! Congrats @ScottishFA

“It was also apparent from the audio that this decision was taken following dialogue with the Hearts Head Coach, who had intimated concerns over player safety.” So the match was ended because of concerns over player safety? That feels quite important.

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

This unequivocally confirms three things: a) The game had not finished. b) The referee had not blown the whistle. c) The much ended because of the pitch invasion, and the perceived safety risk to Hearts players. There's no ambiguity now.

Only positive from a terrible season is the rest of Scottish football, and beyond, now see what we've been saying for years, the SFA/SPFL will do anything for Celtic, bend any rule and give any ridiculous decision if things are tight, its not a Glasgow bias, it's a Celtic bias.

What an utterly pathetic and embarrassing response. At no point condemns the actions of the Celtic supporters instead bites back and insinuates Hearts were out of order for drawing attention to the whole thing in the first place Further evidence the SFA are not fit for purpose

The Scottish Football Association seem more focused on legitimising decisions for Celtic supporters than on applying the rules of the game fairly and consistently across the board.

@GrahamSpiers @stjambo The time is not the relevant part here - the player safety element is. A match doesn’t end due to player safety risks, it’s abandoned.

@stjambo Yes. And presumably because he knew/believed only about 30 seconds remained.

So we can now say - which we haven’t been able to say openly for days - that Derek McInnes told match officials he wanted Celtic v Hearts ended the moment Celtic went 3-1 up and fans invaded the pitch.

@ScottishFA So the match was clearly abandoned for player safety and the SFA are trying to defend this and fight Celtics corner as usual.

Scottish FA Statement | Celtic v Heart of Midlothian

“expressing our concern that a troubling precedent has been set whereby a pitch invasion can effectively determine the duration of a football match” 🎯

Corrupt cheating bastards I feel sick

I don't have @SkySports but did the @AVFCOfficial fans invade the pitch with a minute or two to go and attack the Freiberg players? Must be a unique @CelticFC thing if they didn't. This is on you @ScottishFA and @scotgov Years of weakness and enablement. The world sees you.

The fact McClean failed to give Hearts a penalty which the SFA admitted was a mistake & which ultimately decided the title & then to be rewarded with the cup final absolutely reeks of corruption & rewarded for "job done" This isnt a mistake....

If Scottish football has any integrity Celtic must be stripped of their title, says Philip Patrick. The laws of the game are clear: if a pitch invasion ends a game early it is either forfeit or replayed. dailysceptic.org/2026/05/20/if-…

Martin O'Neill is a Celtic legend whose words hold weight and opinion matters ... His refusal to condemn the Celtic Park pitch invasion is a disgrace trib.al/3CgnknS

youtu.be/aaV0bVjsqSw?si… Dutch football show also agreeing the Celtic win at Motherwell looks to be driven by corruption. Willie Collum cannot survive this. No matter how much @CelticFC try to protect him. He and the corrupt SFA are their greatest assets in the game

Takes a certain sort of person to manage a football club as horrible as Celtic, the nice old frail guy image has always been an act. This is the real Martin O’Neill, horrible old bitter bastard.
