The Scottish FA’s KMI panel showing their true colours, and not for the first time as they review some but not all the key incidents from Celtic’s Premier Sports Cup win over theRangers…
The much maligned Key match incident panel have had their say on some of the big calls on Sunday’s Premier Sports cup semifinal which ended in a 3-1 victory for Celtic, AET. And it probably won’t surprise you to learn that they all agreed comprehensively with Nick Walsh’s on field decisions that they review but there’s no mention at all of the Reo Hatate penalty stonewaller that Celtic were denied.
From @ClydeSSB this evening.
Listen to Liam pull the panel on lack of coverage of the stonewall Hatate penalty from the Celtic v Rangers game.
Then listen to them talk absolute nonsense and dig themselves a the biggest of big holes.

The decision to disallow what would have been an opening goal to Celtic was according to the panel correct, despite the rather questionable lines drawn for the incident.
Next up was the red card shown to Thelo Aasgaard, which was unsurprisingly given a thumbs up by the four man panel, but the decision to only caution Auston Trusty for kicking fresh air was branded a mistake by three members of the panel, and even more curiously it was an unanimous agreement that Derek Cornelius’s reckless challenge merited only a yellow.
The incident that led to the Ibrox club equalising from the penalty spot was also given the thumbs up by all the panel, leaving us all wondering, who the heck is on this panel, and what or who is their affiliation to?
After all, we seen a similar incident to Tony Ralston’s supposed misdemeanour in the Champions League being closely inspected, and it was quite rightly corrected, as UEFA stated afterwards.
We also had a neutral official tell us that Cornelius deserved to be sent packing, not to mention the complete blackout of the serval other decisions that went against us that day including the stonewall penalty after the barge on Reo Hatate that no-one outside of the Celtic support wants to talk about.
The KMI are showing their true colours, and that would be red white and blue.
Meanwhile Celtic march on to the final against St Mirren next month to defend out trophy that was won last year by beating theRangers and they are still moaning about some decision or other that didn’t go their way in that game too.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
