IIRC they got an extra game suspension?

But it was the club who were charged not the players ,spent 3 weeks scouring the rule book and couldn’t come up with anything so had to fling a vague charge at the club

Still no official word. Doubtless a number of 'robust conversations' taking place.

I hope Rangers have said you scummy bastards can have the title which you didn’t win , we want the champions league place tho.

If Hearts can get compensated because potentially they could of escaped relegation and the monetary penalties that would bring then Rangers should be compensated because potentially they could of won the league and potentially got into the champions league. Where does it stop, Doncaster is a fucking muppet.

Wishful thinking.... hopefully we have pulled a rabbit out the hat at the 11th hour... would love this to be the case!!

It would just take us and Hearts to lay the certainty of legal action on the table and they will blink as bullies usually do when someone stands up to them.

Used for so long to just getting their way they are dumbfounded when others disagree.

In a nutshell:

EPL: we must do all we can to finish the games
SPFL: we must do all we can to give celtic the title

Khunts. 

If the SPFL were away to lose the amount the EPL would lose if they called the league then Lawwell and Doncaster would still call it.

If anyone doesn't want to give them the clicks:

 

"The SPFL has today announced that, following consultation with all 12 top-flight clubs, the Board of the SPFL has determined that the 2019/20 Ladbrokes Premiership has been concluded with immediate effect.

As with the Ladbrokes Championship, Ladbrokes League One and Ladbrokes League Two competitions, final season placings have been determined by points per game in league matches played to 13 March 2020 by each club.

The decision means that celtic are crowned 2019/20 champions and Hearts have been relegated to the Ladbrokes Championship. The final placings in full can be seen below:

SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan said: “Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to officially congratulate celtic on their achievement of winning the Ladbrokes Premiership this season, and also to sincerely commiserate with Hearts on their relegation.

“We would all have rather seen the league season played out on pitches, in stadiums and in front of supporters. This is not the way anybody involved with Scottish football would have wanted to conclude the league season but, given the grave and unprecedented circumstances that we are facing, the Board has agreed that it is the only practical way forward.

“Covid-19 has wreaked havoc on sporting competitions around the world and the repercussions will be felt for a long time. Scottish Government restrictions and deep concerns for both player and spectator safety left the SPFL with no realistic option but to call the Ladbrokes Premiership now and we thank the Premiership clubs for their support on this decision.”

SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “On Friday, Ladbrokes Premiership clubs expressed their clear and unanimous view that there was no realistic prospect of completing the outstanding fixtures from Season 2019/20.  The SPFL Board met this morning and in line with the express agreement of member clubs in April, the Board determined that League Season 2019/20 and the Ladbrokes Premiership be brought to an end.

“This decision now enables us to pay out around £7 million in fees to help clubs stay afloat during this incredibly difficult time. We will begin processing these payments immediately.

“The focus of all those involved in the game will now turn to how we get football up and running again safely as soon as possible.  Next season’s Betfred Cup first round group stage is scheduled to begin in mid-July, with coverage from Premier Sports.  The 2020/21 League Season in all four of our Divisions is due to commence on 1 August, which coincides with the start of our new and exclusive five-year broadcasting deal with Sky Sports.

“Nobody should be under any illusion as to how complicated and difficult a challenge it will be to return Scottish football to normality. We will be liaising with Government on the best way forward and working to ensure that all of our 42 clubs are playing football again as soon as humanly possible.”"
