Lord Willie Haughey has claimed Celtic and Hearts were not hit with the same rule that saw Queen's Park thrown out of the Scottish Cup.The Scottish FA found the Glasgow side guilty of playing an ineligible player after Euan Henderson was fielded in their rescheduled fourth round win over Inverness.
It was a fixture moved after the original date fell foul of the weather. Henderson had not signed on loan from Hearts at that point and therefore was not registered to play in the first tie, so was ineligible for the game that did go ahead.
But Queen's Park backer Haughey claims the same rules could also have been applied to the 2020 showpiece that was played in an empty stadium due to Covid.
That Final, which Celtic won, was originally billed for May 9 but had to be forced all the way back to December 20 because the season had been brought to an abrupt end as the pandemic wreaked havoc.In that time, clubs had made new signings over the summer, with Shane Duffy, David Turnbull and Diego Laxalt all featuring after their moves.
