It’s been a day fuelled by weather-related postponements and delays throughout Scottish football.
And in the final Scottish Premiership fixture of the weekend, Celtic were 3-1 up against Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle with a matter of minutes remaining when the game had to be halted because of a bizarre incident.
Assistant referee Graeme Stewart appeared to sustain a thigh injury whilst running the line which resulted in the fourth official taking over the duties late on.
“What is going on here, is the fourth official having a massage?,” quipped Chris Sutton on Sky Sports commentary as he attempted to figure out what was happening.
“That’s Mickey Mouse, dearie me!”
The match ended up at a standstill for four minutes until the replacement, Stevie Kirkland, prepared themselves.
Celtic went on to score another with substitute Adam Idah converting from the penalty spot to secure maximum points and go three ahead of Aberdeen in the league table.
