Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has accused the Scottish Football Association of reaching ‘a new low’ over their decision to charge Scott Brown in the wake of the Hoops’ defeat of Rangers.
Scottish football’s governing body charged Brown for ‘not acting in the best interests of association football’ during and after last Sunday’s 2-1 win at Celtic Park.

Scott Brown wound up Rangers’ players at full-time
Alfredo Morelos was sent off in the first-half of the fiery Old Firm derby for elbowing Brown in the face, while Ryan Kent is facing a two-game ban for also lashing out at the Celtic captain.
Andy Halliday was then shown a second yellow card as he clashed with Brown following the full-time whistle, as the 33-year-old started celebrating in front of the Rangers fans.
