‘It is now open season’ ‘Pretends to be shocked’ ‘you will be taking this further ???’ Celtic fans react as SFA double down on Yang

As expected the SFA has thrown out Celtic’s appeal against the red card shown to Yang Hyun-jun against Hearts on Sunday.

Equally as predictable a Celtic spokesperson is ‘surprised and disappointed’ at the outcome, a trademark reaction from a club that has been at the back of the bus since July 2012.

Yang’s sending off against Hearts was the combined work of John Beaton and Don Robertson, upholding the appeal would have been a public humiliation to two of the SFA’s leading referees.

No explanation has been given for the judgement, Celtic are expected to brief their favoured media messengers about how upset they are by the decision while hoping to move on from the honest mistakes at Tynecastle.

Two working days after the defeat to Hearts Brendan Rodgers hasn’t been hit with a disrepute charge from the SFA for calling Beaton incompetent.

Living in their own world and accountable to no-one a disrepute charge could be made at any time, no doubt the ‘surprised and disappointed’ template will be back in use whenever Rodgers is charged and punished.
