SPFL Issues Firm Condemnation of Celtic Park Pitch Invasion Following Title Victory
The SPFL has officially condemned a pitch invasion that took place at Celtic Park during the final day of the league season.
The incident occurred during Celtic’s decisive 3-1 win over Heart of Midlothian. After a goal by Callum Osmand, a section of the home crowd ran onto the pitch, which ultimately delayed the resumption of play.
Official SPFL Statement
In a statement released after the match, the league governing body balanced praise for both teams with a strict rebuke of fan behavior:
“Firstly, we send our congratulations to Celtic on winning the William Hill Premiership in the most exciting of circumstances and send our commiserations to everyone at Heart of Midlothian following an incredible campaign. However, we utterly condemn the scenes which saw a number of Celtic supporters encroach onto the field of play.”
Clarification on the Match Status
Amid widespread speculation about how the game officially concluded, the SPFL clarified that the match was not abandoned. According to the governing body, the referee confirmed the game had formally ended prior to the trophy presentation.
The SPFL thanked the officiating crew, stating:
“We would also like to thank the referee and his excellent team of match officials for their cool heads on such a dramatic day. Given the speculation about the conclusion of the game, we would like to make clear that, prior to awarding the trophy, we were informed by the match referee that the match had ended and had not been abandoned.”
Safety Concerns and Next Steps
While celebrating the high-stakes finale—noting that the match “showed off the very best of the Scottish game”—the SPFL reiterated that pitch invasions are completely unacceptable and compromise the safety of everyone on the field.
The league is currently awaiting the official match delegate’s report to review specific incidents. Furthermore, the SPFL highlighted that entering the field of play has been illegal in England and Wales since 1991, and they urge anyone with information regarding criminal activity to contact Police Scotland.
