    Meanwhile, the SPFL has confirmed the game was not brought to a premature conclusion when fans entered the pitch.

    Play did not resume after Osmand’s goal, despite the clock not having reached the allocated 98 minutes.

    A spokesperson for the SPFL sent congratulations to Celtic and commiserations to Hearts before praising referee Don Robertson and the team of match officials for keeping “cool heads on such a dramatic day”.

    The statement added: “Given the speculation about the conclusion of the game, we would like to make clear that, prior to awarding the trophy, we were informed by the match referee that the match had ended and had not been abandoned.”

    The SPFL spokesperson went on to “utterly condemn the scenes which saw a number of Celtic supporters encroach on to the field of play”.

    They explained the governing body will wait for the match delegate report to consider action.

    “Supporters entering the field of play in any circumstances is wholly unacceptable and puts those participating and working at a match at risk,” they said.

    “We note that entering the pitch in England and Wales has been a criminal offence since 1991. We urge anyone with information about any alleged criminal activity to contact Police Scotland.”
