£5. But home fans have to pay that as well, and so do fans of Aberdeen and Dundee Utd - who don't need as many extra stewards.

Charge us the same as the other sides, which would save the Celtic support about £20k and I'd be happy for the club to pay the extra stewarding since the cost would come to absolutely nowhere near £20k, I'd doubt it would cost more than £1500.

The steward deliberately handled the flying piece of advertising hoarding and Celtic are seeking clarification.

Meekings free to play in the SCF.

New Administration sanctions approved - will now be an immediate 15 point deduction with another 5 points deducted the following season, 2nd admin would bring a 25 point deduction and another 15 the following season if within 5 years of the first.

Wey, common sense reigns, though not before first the SFA, like the SPFL with the initial Rangers vs Hearts rescheduling, had shown themselves up as champion wallies.

When the FIFA referees chairman indicated his unease at a ban and that it would set a dangerous precedent, the SFA looked very isolated on this one.

So the official line is that none of the officials seen it and it wasn't deliberate.

I've just seen the hand ball on the beeb news, how the f**k both the ref & that other clown on the line missed that I'll never know, A red card every day of the week !

An 'honest mistake'. What a GIRUY that is Imagine Meekings scores the winner.

Good news for the lad, like you say though the SFA were starting to look silly once FIFA representatives were commenting.

Now. What happens to McLean? A trip to SpecSavers and nothing else?

Sir Stevie 'Honest Mistake' McLean knows the script:

Yes, what a hero Meekings could be. Ruddy good save to stop Inverness going 2-0 down in the semi final and then the winner in the final

Interesting to read the SFA quote, they seem to be implying that other cases where a ban is actually given are not 'honest mistakes.

Says the ex-Celtic player.

Panel have explained that they had no right to ban Meekings as the assistant behind the goal thought he saw what took place - he can be quite clearly saying he thinks the ball hit his face .... case closed.

I'm happy the player can play in the final but talk about milking it. Like Hughes was going to give up on a Scottish cup final, pull the other one it has bells on it.

how do the championship playoffs work in scotland? 2nd-5th?

3rd vs 4th then winners play 2nd then winners of that play 11th in the Premiership. All over 2 legs home and away. No away goals I think.

I don't think he was going to quit before the cup final, he claims he was becoming disillusioned with Scottish football and I expect he was only considering leaving at the end of the season (quite good for another attempt down south if you quit as a trophy winning manager). It is a bit sensationalist although it does disprove the claims that 'all Celtic fans' wanted ICT & Meekings hung,drawn & quartered.

Reading about the Meekings case the SFA seem to be saying that in the future no player will be punished retrospectively for diving for a penalty if a penalty is awarded.

Unless it's Peter Pawlett

if correct, this is PURE PANICKING, resulting in things and rulings being thrown against the wall and seeing what one smells the nicest! what bloody relevance does THAT have??

headless idiot chickens that need to be shot and eaten


also st mirren winning, so the end MUST be near ..... FOUR goals now

The SFA website has Josh Meekings listed as being suspended today. He was playing and has only been booked 3 times this season so not suspended at all.

Bunch of absolute clowns, amateur ones at that.

Another good win for AFC. Keeps it alive anyway.

St Mirren score 4 and Josh Magennis also scores in the same match.

So Hibs are now one win away from securing second place.

gonna be busy next saturday switching between the hearts/rangers game and the two english championship games
