SPFL Premiership News
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.
Police Scotland have vowed to take "robust and swift action" against anybody found to have committed criminality as the Scottish Professional Football League condemned Celtic supporters' "wholly unacceptable" pitch invasion.
