While we wait on the outcome of the compliance officer looking into the abhorrent actions of Stevie Naismith over the weekend, it would appear our captain is also in the firing line for a potential off the ball incident.
During the game, Scott Brown has swung his elbow out with Stevie Naismith standing behind him.
It looks like a coming together but did the Celtic Captain see the idiot coming? That’s what the SFA compliance officer will be deciding. If Brown is found guilty, with the timeline involved his suspension could fall on the Glasgow Derby fixture.
Former Premier League Dermott Gallagher believes it should not be punished.

Dermot Gallagher looks at incidents from Hearts v Celtic-
Naismith- "It's not malicious, it's petulant. For me it's not worth a red card."
Brown- "It's hardly an elbow"

Only just seen the footage, I can’t see Scott Brown being available for the Derby.
