Celtic can do no more on Yang red, so it’s over to the supporters

Yang’s decision is not surprising, but what happens next? Yang lost his appeal for his red card at Tynecastle on Sunday, and now faces a two-match ban after it was upheld for “serious foul play.” Personally, I didn’t think this would be overturned—especially not with this inept shower in charge of our team. Granted, it was a close call, so you can understand why he was sent off, but it’s absurd that it was deemed serious foul play—especially considering the recent instances where similar incidents have gone unpunished.

Yang did go in high with his boot, but there was no intent to hurt anyone, he made a genuine attempt to go for the ball as you can fully see in every angle of the various replays.

The Hearts player in question Alex Cochrane also made the most of it despite not coming into contact with Yangs boot. So for it to be deemed punishable with a two-match ban is ludicrous.

But at the end of the day, the card and suspension will stand. The question is what is the club’s next move? Do they take it further and risk a longer suspension for the player? Or do they just let it slide despite having reasonable grounds for it being successful appealed?
