No ban for Broonie

-

SCOTT BROWN dodged an Old Firm ban after SFA beaks ruled he can’t be charged for his Friday night flashpoint against Hamilton.

The Celtic skipper faced calls for retrospect­ive punishment after he was caught on camera appearing to flick a boot at the face of Accies defender Giannis Skondras during their 4-1 win. But SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan yesterday ruled there wasn’t enough evidence to prove there was violent intent.

The news pleased Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers who said: “I don’t think it was a big problem for the players and it was unintentio­nal.”
