Many Celtic fans have been talking about the latest tweet that Michael Stewart recently posted on social media.
Stewart’s latest tweet saw him congratulate Celtic on winning the Premiership title. He called them ‘worthy winners’ despite football being suspended because of the pandemic. However, he also went on to say that the relegation ‘doesn’t sit easy’ with him and that a solution must be found for this.
Many Celtic fans flocked to this tweet. Many of them agreed with Stewart, while others said that Hearts are right to get relegated because for a variety of reasons.
Heres a solution. Play better during the season ?

Do you have sympathy for Hearts because they're getting relegated?
Yes, I do
No, they deserve to go down
Well said Micheal ??

Fair enough michael but at what point do we draw the line and start planning for the return of football rather then going around in circles with yesterdays issues

Apart from Celtic being crowned champions, it was also confirmed that Hearts have been relegated from the Premiership. While Celtic were 13 points clear at the top of the table, Hearts were rock-bottom, though they were only as many as four points behind 11th-placed Hamilton.
What do we think?
There seems to be a variety of opinions about what Stewart is saying. But considering the league has been decided on a points-per-game basis, there is an element of fairness with relation to relegating Hearts as the Premiership’s worst team.
It shows that Hearts indeed did deserve to go down and Celtic meanwhile deserved to win the title because of the large gap at the top with a couple of months remaining in the season.
