SFA appeal outcome left Celtic speechless, a chronology of explanation emerges.

SFA appeal outcome left Celtic speechless, a chronology of explanation emerges.

After a thrilling 2-0 loss to Heart of Midlothian on the road last weekend, Celtic were left to pick themselves up by themselves.

Naturally, the issue surrounding the authorities has taken up most of the news in the days that have passed, igniting a media firestorm that is unlikely to let off anytime soon.

Hyunjun Yang, a winger from South Korea, was sent off for a high challenge on Alex Cochrane,

but the decision was reversed thanks to VAR intervention. Don Robertson upgraded his original booking at Tynecastle to a straight red as a result of this.

With just 10 players, Celtic found it difficult to establish themselves in the nation’s capital.

Despite being nudged during the process, Tomoki Iwata was ultimately judged to have handled in the penalty area.

Before Lawrence Shankland put the game out of doubt in the second half, Hearts were awarded a penalty,

which Jorge Grant dutifully dispatched past Joe Hart to open the scoring.

On Monday, the Bhoys filed an appeal against Yang’s termination, citing “serious concerns” regarding the use of VAR in play.

However, the Scottish FA rejected their protests yesterday, therefore the 21-year-old will now have to serve a suspension of two games.

He will be unable to participate in this weekend’s cup match against Livingston and next week’s match at Parkhead [Scotsman] versus St Johnstone due to his ban.

More details have now emerged on how Celtic chiefs feel behind the scenes following the Scottish FA’s decision to uphold Yang’s red card.
