News Report:Brendan Rodgers’ potential SFA sanctions
Brendan Rodgers must answer to the SFA tribunal today regarding his remarks made by the match official following
Hearts’ loss to them last month.
John Beaton’s intervention during the 2-0 Tynecastle loss led to Don Robertson awarding a questionable penalty and
dismissing Hyunjun Yang. Beaton was on VAR that afternoon.
Although the Celtic manager was furious with the referees, he reserved his most biting remarks for Beaton,
who had encouraged Robertson to make both of the game’s decisions.
“That there is absolutely shocking decision-making,” stated Rodgers at the time.
For our fans as well as the players, I’m incredibly disappointed.
“I felt that the bureaucrats were appallingly inadequate. You’ll need to find out what John Beaton is seeing in VAR.
un a further post-match interview, Rodgers called the match officials “incompetent,” and it is precisely those
remarks that have put the Celtics manager un hot water.
What challenges would the Celtic manager encounter on his way to Hampden today, and how might the SFA suits
handle this scenario?
The probable SFA sanctions for Brendan Rodgers
The SFA accusation states that Rodgers violated disciplinary rule number 72,
which states that the Celtic manager’s remarks “indicate bias or incompetence” on the part of the match officials. [SFA]
If Rodgers is found guilty, the SFA may use him as an example. He may be banned from the dugout for at least two games,
which would mean he would miss this Sunday’s game against Livingston and the Glasgow Derby against Rangers at Ibrox the following week.
However, only if the SFA decided to ban two games. A more severe penalty might force Rodgers to miss the April 13th St. Mirren encounter.
The SFA may also decide to find Rodgers guilty but only suspend him for two games or just one game and give him a one-game punishment.
The SFA manual states that the offender’s good character, prior disciplinary record,
Given that Rodgers has no prior record, the national association may choose this course of action;
nevertheless, because the Celtic manager hasn’t expressed any remorse for his remarks, it might be challenging for the SFA to be forgiving.

Whatever argument or case De Marco puts forward could get Rodgers off but I would suspect that would be highly
unlikely considering the comments made by the Celtic manager are in black and white.
Whatever the outcome, all eyes are on the SFA today and it will be interesting to see what their verdict will be.
