Celtic last night hit out at the decision to hand Ryan Christie a two game ban for grabbing Alfredo Morelos's genitals in the Ladbrokes Premiership game against Rangers at Parkhead last month.
Christie was issued with a fast track notice of complaint by SFA compliance officer Clare Whyte last week and was hit with a suspension after a hearing at Hampden yesterday afternoon.
The Scotland player, who is out injured after undergoing groin surgery after the Rangers match, will miss three matches due to the red card he received against Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena in October.
Celtic are unhappy with the punishment and have revealed they will be seeking talks with the governing body in the wake of the decision. The Scottish champions have questioned the lack of consistency in the disciplinary process and demanded a "fair and consistent" system.
A Celtic spokesman said: "Celtic Football Club and Ryan Christie are extremely disappointed at the outcome of the hearing today.
"Given the recent treatment of Celtic players and the lack of sanctions being imposed on those responsible, the fact that a sanction has been imposed on Ryan for the incident in question demonstrates a worrying lack of consistency in the Scottish FA fast track process.
"Naturally, we will be contacting the Scottish FA regarding our concerns. Scottish football deserves a disciplinary process which is fair, consistent and fit for purpose."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
