Sky Sports has confirmed, following official minutes from the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL), that FIFA has taken decisive action by suspending the referee who officiated Celtic FC’s recent match. The decision comes after widespread outrage and intense scrutiny over the official’s controversial decisions, which many fans and analysts claim significantly influenced the outcome of the game.
Dubbed a “pursuit of great sensation,” the incident has sparked debate across Scotland and the global football community. FIFA’s disciplinary committee reviewed the match footage and concluded that the referee’s performance fell “well below the expected international standard.” This rare intervention by FIFA underscores the seriousness of the situation and the governing body’s commitment to maintaining fairness and integrity in the sport.
The suspended referee will not be eligible to officiate in domestic or international matches until a full investigation is completed. Sources suggest that SPFL and FIFA will jointly oversee the probe, examining not only the referee’s decisions but also broader officiating standards within the league.
Celtic FC has not issued an official comment yet, but insiders believe the club will welcome the move as a step toward greater transparency and accountability in Scottish football.
