Irving's contract extension had not been corectly lodged with the Scottish Football Association, rendering him ineligible to play as his registration had expired on 9 June.[8] An SPFL disciplinary hearing took place on Monday 23rd July,[9] as a result of which Hearts were deducted two points from the group stages and fined £10,000,[10] with £8,000 of the fine suspended until the end of the next season.[11]
