The Scottish FA's key match incident (KMI) panel has cast its verdict on two key decisions in Celtic's 3-1 victory over Heart of Midlothian last weekend, which sealed the Scottish Premiership title.
Goals from Arne Engels, Daizen Maeda, and Callum Osmand saw Martin O'Neill's men emerge victorious on an afternoon of optimum drama in Glasgow's East End.
After going a goal behind to Lawrence Shankland's header, Celtic were given a penalty late in the first half.
Kieran Tierney's cross met the hand of Alexandros Kyziridis, and referee Don Robertson pointed to the spot. The KMI panel unanimously supported the decision.

In the second 45, as Celtic pushed for a winner, Daizen Maeda had the ball in the back of the net, only for it to be ruled out for an offside in the build-up.
While Maeda was initially offside, he played no part in the build-up. Osmand, who received the ball from Marcelo Saracchi's pass, was clearly onside.
The KMI panel unanimously agreed that the initial decision was incorrect and wrote, "The panel highlighted VAR was correct to intervene and the decision to award the goal was correct."
