Celtic Surprised No Decision Was Taken Against Morelos

Celtic are surprised that no decision has been taken by the SFA against Alfredo Morelos.

The Rangers striker was accused of committing foul against the Celtic players on three different occasions during their last match but has been excused by the SFA.

Celtic are surprised that no action has been taken against Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos after the player was accused of violent conduct against the Celtic players during their last match at Ibrox.

The Hoops have issued a statement in regards to the incident that reads, “Celtic Football Club is surprised that there will be no disciplinary action taken by the Scottish FA regarding the incidents during the match on December 29, which have been widely addressed in the media. It is reported that no action was taken because the match referee saw all of the incidents in question. Given that the referee took no action at the time, this tends to suggest that such conduct, which in one instance led to a Celtic player, Anthony Ralston, being injured, is acceptable in Scottish football. That cannot be right. On the day, Celtic did not play well enough to win the match, something we accept. However, this issue goes beyond the result of the match.”

They added, “Celtic is not the only club this season to raise concerns regarding the standard of officiating at matches in Scotland, concerns which have also been shared by many commentators on the game. In order to fully understand what is going on, Celtic, our supporters, Scottish clubs and the general Scottish football public need transparency in these matters, and we therefore call on the Scottish FA to allow the referee, John Beaton, to explain these decisions publicly as well as any match officials involved in other similar circumstances. In the meantime, we have requested a meeting with Scottish FA Chief Executive, Ian Maxwell, and the Association’s Head of Refereeing (John Fleming).”
