Ghedjemis deal advances, SFA admits penalty errors

Ghedjemis deal moving closer

Celtic have taken a significant step toward signing Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis this summer. The 23-year-old is firmly on the radar as the club looks to strengthen for next season, and the latest signals out of Italy suggest the move is advancing (1).

After the double-winning campaign, Martin O'Neill's squad, whatever his own future holds, needs fresh legs out wide, especially with Daizen Maeda expected to depart.

SFA admits two penalty errors

The Scottish FA has acknowledged a pair of officiating mistakes, one that helped Celtic, one that hurt Hearts. Your late penalty awarded at Motherwell was correct, the SFA confirmed, but Hearts were wrongly denied a spot-kick in their own match (2).

It's the kind of half-admission that'll fuel arguments in group chats all weekend. At least the one that went your way was the right call.

Fan reactions

Supporters are already looking beyond the double, with a resurfaced Dick Advocaat story doing the rounds about Celtic and Rangers pushing to enter the English pyramid, only for EFL clubs to block the move. The idea of starting in League Two still stirs the imagination, even if the door looks firmly shut. See the thread.
