Celtic football club have tonight wrote to the SFA asking for clarity.
The issue pertains to the Ibrox Covidiots and the brass neck appeal slapped in by a club who think they’re above the rules.
Celtic want to know why the appeal is going to take place well after the Scottish cup tie next weekend when it clearly can be held long before then.
A Celtic spokesperson tonight released a statement on the issue:
“There have been a number of calls for ‘consistency’ this season – we couldn’t agree more.
“The SFA has dealt with other cases swiftly this season and only they can explain the timing in this case.
“We have therefore sought clarification from the Scottish FA so that Scottish football can understand the approach in disciplinary cases, in the interests of transparency and consistency.”
The two sides are set to meet next Saturday in the Scottish Cup and it’s clear this Govan club are taking advantage of an inept appeal system.
No doubt Celtic’s questions will be passed off without any meaningful comment.
Considering Boli Bolingoli was dealt with swiftly at the start of the season, it’s crazy to think how much the SFA have backtracked since then and how lenient they have been towards the Ibrox club in general.
