Celtic face a further wait to discover whether their Scottish Cup stadium ban will be overturned, with the appeals process reportedly set to continue into Tuesday.
SunSport’s Head of Sport Roger Hannah reports that an independent appeal hearing began on Monday, 26 October, but deliberations are expected to continue on Tuesday.

The report also states that both Celtic and Rangers will receive written decisions, including the reasons behind the rulings, before the outcomes are made public.
It means Celtic supporters could face another wait for clarity over whether they will be permitted to attend the club’s next home Scottish Cup fixture.
The Scottish FA’s official disciplinary records confirm that Monday was the scheduled date for the appeal hearings, with no final outcome published at the time of writing.
Celtic were sanctioned following the disorder that broke out after their Scottish Cup quarter-final victory over Rangers at Ibrox on 8 March.
Supporters from both clubs entered the pitch following Celtic’s penalty shootout victory, with police and stewards required to intervene.
Both clubs subsequently received punishments requiring their next home Scottish Cup matches to be played without spectators.
Celtic were also ordered to pay £100,000 to whichever visiting club they are drawn against in that fixture.
A further stadium closure and £100,000 payment were imposed on a suspended basis, remaining active until the conclusion of the 2027/28 season.
Those additional sanctions would only apply in the event of another qualifying breach involving supporter conduct during that period.
The club previously described the sanctions as disproportionate and raised questions about responsibility for safety arrangements at the stadium.
Rangers have also appealed the punishments imposed on them following the same fixture.
No date has been confirmed for the publication of the Hoops’ appeal verdict. The tribunal’s work is reportedly continuing beyond Monday, with Celtic awaiting a written decision on whether the original sanctions will stand.
