Scottish premier league.

[Double C]

I've not even seen the incident so how can you claim I said there isn't corruption.

The only thing I've commented on is your farcical assertion that the draw was fixed to give Celtic home advantage which was patent bollocks given the previous fixtures this season. You even conceded that point.

Having now looked at the footage, it clearly struck his hand.

There's been a lot of criticism from all sides of the way VAR is used in the SPL.

i do not understand how you think that struck his hand and is a penalty

you must support celtic

nobody at all thinks it is a penalty apart from celtic fans, absolute joke

the spfl are corrupt

The VAR playback clearly shows it struck his hand. You can maybe argue against the use of VAR in those circumstances but that's a completely different issue.

Whilst I have consistently said that Celtic are the better team than Rangers with better players and play better football. it doesn't mean I support Celtic, that's an observation on the 2 teams that dominate that league.

If it I support any team in Scotland, it's Dunfermline. Go through this whole thread and find one post where I show any favouritism towards Celtic other than to compare the relative footballing merits of them and Rangers at any given time.

Also, as an aside, whether Celtic won or drew, it still doesn't significantly change the equation for final game, Celtic need to win, Hearts need to avoid defeat.

it massively changes it for the final game

Celtic would have needed a 3 goal win otherwise which is a huge different then a 2-1 or 1-0

Come on Hearts, lay the ghost of 86.

Gutted for Hearts, are there a more unlikable lot than that lot?

[WestYorksRoyal]

That's that then. Maybe in another 25 years Scotland will have a season worth paying attention to.

[From Despair To Where?]

I'm not so sure. This papers over the cracks for Celtic. There's huge issues behind the scene and they will be looking for a new manager for next season. Likewise Rangers, as I'm not sure Rohl can survive finishing 3rd in a 2 horse race.

Hearts on the other hand have a decent Scottish manager, stability behind the scenes and Bloom has a track record of bringing success and will invest. If Hearts can keep their squad together, there's no reason why they can't challenge again next year. If they qualify for the group stage of the Champions League, that would be huge for them.

BOOOO! BOOOO! FCUKING BOOOOOOOOO!

That is all.

Couple of the Hearts players targeted by the invaders, they need a big fine.

I know, why don’t UEFA award that sort of success from leagues around Europe by giving a CL spot to a side like Hearts instead of yet more spots to countries like England, Spain, Germany etc.

Let's hope so. Scottish football has always been pretty dull with its Old Firm domination, but it's reached new levels since Rangers had to rebuild from the bottom in 2011. Even in the commentary when they talk about all the silverware that players like McGregor and Forrest have won, the only correct response is "it means fcuk all", it's like me celebrating beating my 6 year old nephew at monopoly.

This has been a genuinely exciting season and I'm gutted for Hearts today, but just having enough in it that neutrals can feel that way is progress.

[Beaulux]

I have Celtic sympathies, for family and football reasons, but I was hoping Hearts would do it, must admit.

[From Despair To Where?]

It's easy to look at the events of the last week but over the course of the season, Hearts dropped 12pts in 9 games against the bottom 3.

Celtic dropped none.

3pt deduction should do it..

[AthleticoSpizz]

Scummy behaviour by the bhoys fans after the game too

I mean it is not as if you’ve never won the Celtic Premier Boring League recently, is it?

[WestYorksRoyal]

I was thinking it's scummy behaviour. Pitch invasion, players assaulted, fights with the police. But then I have to remind myself; if I ever get to see England men win a major international tournament, I'll probably have to watch our fans ruin it for us all too.
