SPFL opens disciplinary proceedings into Celtic pitch invasions

The Scottish Professional Football League has opened disciplinary proceedings following pitch invasions by Celtic fans at two matches that secured their title.

The SPFL announced the investigations on May 22, 2026, into incidents at the May 13 match between Motherwell and Celtic and the May 16 title decider against Heart of Midlothian at Celtic Park. Fans entered the field after a 97th-minute goal by Callum Osmand sealed a 3-1 win over Hearts and after a controversial late penalty in the earlier game won by Kelechi Iheanacho. The Scottish Football Association's Key Match Incidents panel has since ruled that penalty decision incorrect.
