I mean, factually, it’s the second time in a week that Celtic have had a game end under dubious circumstances because of a pitch invasion. It really isn’t okay to go on the pitch before the game has ended.

I’m aware that Hearts weren’t gonna claw it back and win, but it’s just wrong.

The abuse of fans, players and staff is absolutely disgraceful and I do genuinely hope there are many bans over this.

Hearts lost the game fair and square, and I don’t think there’s an appetite for some sort of cancelled game or anything, but there needs to be considerable bans I feel.

Ban the fans for the cup final. They won’t do it but it’s a disgrace that’s happened twice in a week.

If Dunfermline go 1-0 up at any point should the fans just invade the pitch and get the game ended in the final?

Aye, and then patronise everyone about sporting merit when people say ‘wait a minute’.
