Celtic interim boss Neil Lennon has insisted that Scott Brown didn’t mean to stamp on St Mirren’s Jim Kellermann during the Parkhead side’s 2-0 win at the Simple Digital Arena last night.
TV pictures appeared to show Brown leaving his foot in after being tackled by the Buddies man in the centre circle, leaving the former Wolves youngster in some pain.
Howver, BT Sport pundit Chris Sutton disagreed, insisting that the Hoops skipper was lucky to have stayed on the park.
“Scott Brown was naughty - it’s a red card for me,” said the former Celtic striker.
Brown wasn’t booked by referee Don Robertson at the time, and the Scottish FA Compliance Officer could issue the veteran midfielder with a notice of complaint if she feels there was more to the incident.
