Labour peer continues Celtic vs Hearts campaign amid 'increasingly clear' rule break

A Labour Lord has detailed his next steps, as his campaign against the outcome of Celtic vs Hearts and pitch invasion at Parkhead.

Lord George Foulkes, who served as both a Labour MP and MSP, was chairman at Heart of Midlothian from 2004 to 2005, and attended last weekend's league decider at Parkhead.

After home supporters made their way onto the pitch, following Callum Osmand's injury-time goal, the match was called to a halt, with the SPFL a day later documenting that Don Robertson had blown his whistle for full-time.

Now, following accusations of a "predetermined outcome", as well as signalling his intent to take the matter to FIFA, Foulkes has responded once again.

On X in full, Foulkes said, "I have now written as a former Chair of Hearts to SFA Chief Executive, Ian Maxwell, asking for a review of last Saturday’s match where it is increasingly clear rules were broken when the match was stopped because of pitch invasion before all the extra time had been played."
