In a significant development for Scottish football, Celtic has reportedly been handed a four-point deduction by the Scottish Football Association (SFA) following a recent disciplinary investigation. According to sources close to the matter, including Sky Sports, this decision is seen as a substantial blow to Celtic’s ambitions in the Scottish Premiership.
The SFA’s ruling comes after an alleged breach of league regulations, though specific details on the exact nature of the infraction remain under wraps. Speculation suggests it may involve administrative issues or non-compliance with league operational guidelines. Such a point deduction could have far-reaching implications for Celtic, especially in the fiercely competitive race for the title. The four-point loss means the club now faces an uphill battle, potentially affecting its standing against rivals such as Rangers.
Celtic has expressed its disappointment with the SFA’s decision and is reportedly considering an appeal. Club officials believe the punishment is overly harsh and hope to mitigate its impact. However, with the SFA holding firm, this setback adds pressure on Celtic’s management and players to rally back in their quest for domestic glory.
