The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) has launched disciplinary investigations into five league matches following incidents of unacceptable supporter conduct.
The governing body confirmed reviews are underway for the final match days of the season regarding thrown objects, pyrotechnics, and pitch invasions, including the recent title-deciding fixture between Celtic and Hearts.

The investigated matches also include Motherwell v Celtic, Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Hamilton Academical, Hamilton Academical v Clyde, and Stenhousemuir v Alloa Athletic.
Controversy escalated after Celtic secured the league title last Saturday with a 3-1 victory over Hearts, sealed by a counter-attack goal from substitute Callum Osmand.
Following the final whistle, hundreds of Celtic supporters breached security to crowd the pitch, prompting allegations from Hearts investor Tony Bloom that players were assaulted during the invasion.
The Scottish FA countered safety concerns on Thursday by releasing VAR studio audio to confirm referee Don Robertson had officially signaled the end of the match.
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill addressed the situation during a Monday appearance on talkSPORT, dismissing criticisms from the opposition club regarding the behavior of the crowd, calling it "nonsense."
The league authority emphasized that football stakeholders must collaborate to eradicate dangerous behavior in stadiums while awaiting outcomes from government consultations.
"In addition to these disciplinary processes, there is a continuing need for all stakeholders to work together to address the challenges of Unacceptable Conduct at matches, including pitch encroachments and pyrotechnic use," the SPFL stated.
