Celtic and Inverness say they are 'disappointed' by the move to avoid a clash with the FA Cup final.
Ms Haughey said the move had caused "considerable disruption" for supporters who had already made travel arrangements.
In a letter to SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell, she wrote: "Alongside the safety implications of a later kick-off time, there is also a concern that the decision sets a dangerous precedent for other major sporting events in Scotland and will be no less disruptive to the viewing public."Ms Haughey asked whether any discussions were held with government ministers, transport operators and fans.
"If it is no longer possible to reinstate the original kick-off time of 15:00, I would also ask you to outline what further steps you will be taking to ensure the safety of all those attending the match, including adequate transport provision to enable travelling fans to return home safely afterwards, most notably those who will be travelling considerable distances," the MSP added.The showpiece event in Glasgow was moved to avoid a clash between Manchester City and Manchester United.
Celtic said they were "hugely disappointed" by the move, while Inverness said they were "obviously very disappointed". They added: "It is certainly not in the interest of both sets of fans and, as we know, our own supporters will be greatly inconvenienced by the travel challenges they now face."
