SPFL Premiership News
Dozens of Celtic supporters clubs have put their name to a statement opposing the potential appointment of Robbie Keane as manager over his previous role with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Celtic won the Scottish Cup final 3-1 against Dunfermline Athletic on Saturday.
Celtic should not have been awarded the match-winning penalty away to Motherwell last week that dented Hearts' title hopes, the Scottish Football Association's key match incident (KMI) panel has ruled.
Hearts expressed concerns Wednesday that a "troubling precedent" was set when their Scottish title decider against Celtic last weekend was ended before the match had officially finished following a pitch invasion.
What next for Hearts after nightmare final day of Scottish Premiership season -- Mark Donaldson talks through the possible scenarios.
