Overview
- A mass pitch invasion at Celtic’s title‑deciding win over Hearts led to widespread unrest and prompted a fresh policing and regulatory response.
- Police Scotland says officers were attacked and injured while more than a dozen people were arrested in connection with the end‑of‑season disorder.
- Chief Constable Jo Farrell urged stepped club penalties such as 20% and 40% ticket allocation cuts and eventual spectator bans to force accountability.
- The SPFL has opened disciplinary probes into five matches and the SFA expects to publish an independent Hampden review into the Rangers–Celtic scenes within weeks.
- Football leaders are weighing rule changes including criminalising pitch incursions and forms of club liability, a move that could speed sanctions and lessen strain on police and local businesses.
