SPFL probes Celtic games, Yang signs long-term deal

SPFL investigation into Celtic games

The SPFL has launched an investigation into Celtic matches and the Premiership play-off fixtures (2). Details are still thin, but any disciplinary probe involving your team is worth watching closely. This isn't just procedural noise, the outcome could have real implications depending on what the league finds.

SFA backs referee after early final whistle

The Scottish FA has given its full backing to referee Don Robertson after he ended the title-deciding clash between Celtic and Hearts early (3). In a statement, the SFA said match officials took the "correct action in ending the game" (3). For Celtic fans, the timing of that final whistle is bound to sting, a title decider cut short is never how you want the day to end.

Yang Hyun-jun signs contract until 2030

Winger Yang Hyun-jun has put pen to paper on a new long-term deal, committing his future to Celtic until 2030 (1). Hardly a surprise if you've been watching, the winger has been getting more minutes and Brendan Rodgers clearly trusts him. Locking him down for the long haul is smart business.

Fan reactions

The talk among supporters today is the Robbie Keane rumour, reports from Hungary claim he has left Ferencváros and could be heading to Celtic or Slovan Bratislava as manager. Plenty of debate on whether he'd be the right fit, but the timing is certainly interesting given the SPFL investigation news. See the full discussion.
