Hearts cite ‘distance’ issue as they challenge contentious decisions against Celtic

win in Glasgow

Hearts raised questions over key penalty decisions following their 2-0 defeat by Celtic in Glasgow as referee Colin Steven came under scrutiny. The Edinburgh club were unhappy that the match official awarded the hosts a second-half penalty for James Penrice handling inside the box having ruled that a handball offence by Celtic’s Liam Scales in the first half did not merit a spot-kick.

Arne Engels scored Celtic’s penalty on his first start to put the hosts ahead before fellow new signing Luke McCowan struck near full-time to secure a 2-0 victory. That maintained Celtic’s 100 per cent start to season 2024/25, leaving Hearts bottom of the Premiership table after five fixtures.
