Celtic made six substitutions during their match against St Mirren, causing confusion among spectators. The introduction of James Forrest as the sixth sub was discussed, with the explanation that teams must inform the referee and opposition if a change is made due to a potential concussion.

Confusion reigned briefly as Celtic made six subs against St Mirren , despite none of their players having to leave the field due to concussion.

The sixth sub was discussed on Sportsound, with former ref Bobby Madden explaining in the studio that teams MUST inform the referee, fourth official and opposition if they make a change due to a player suffering a potential concussion.
