The story in brief
6-second readReflecting on last season's final-day title disappointment, Hearts chairman Calum Paterson calls for "greater transparency and consistency around key decisions in Scottish football".
From the source
Heart of Midlothian chairman Calum Paterson is calling for "greater transparency and consistency around key decisions in Scottish football". Talking to club media to mark his first year in the post, Paterson spoke with pride about coming so close to a first title in 66 years, but also voiced frustration around how last season's thrilling climax unfolded.
The Edinburgh side topped the Premiership table for 250 days but finished two points behind Celtic after a dramatic final-day defeat in Glasgow.
Lawrence Shankland struck first for the visitors, only for the reigning champions to find two late goals for a 3-1 victory, sparking a pitch invasion from jubilant home fans and a hasty exit for the beaten challengers, who expressed safety fears.
