CELTIC captain Scott Brown has had his say on Leigh Griffiths’ flashpoints with Kris Boyd and a Kilmarnock fan.
And the Hoops midfielder has also claimed people would be branding him ‘reckless’ and calling for him to be sent-off if he had done a similar challenge to Alan Power.

Celtic skipper Scott Brown has had his say on the Rugby Park flashpoints
Griffiths hit the second goal of the night and aimed a ‘be quiet’ gesture at Sky Sports pundit Boyd after he said the hitman had just four weeks to save his Parkhead career.
He was then involved in an off-field spat with a fan after he chucked sock-tape towards the home support.

Late in the game full-back Jeremie Frimpong was stretchered off following a tackle from Killie midfielder Power.
On the Griff celebration, Brown said: “Everyone has had criticism. Everyone deals with it and I’m sure the wee man will deal with that.
“I’m sure Boydy is big enough and ugly enough to deal with it too.

Celtic star Griffiths aimed his celebration at Kris Boyd
“I think it’s part and parcel of the game. I’ve had it, Leigh’s had it, everybody’s had it before and it’s just about how you bounce back.”
On incident involving a fan, he added: “I’ve not actually seen (the incident with the supporter) back yet but what I’ve heard is there was nothing really in it.
“I’ve spoken about this before. They (fans) think they can sing and chant for 90 minutes and do whatever what they want.
“If they were on the other side I don’t think they would appreciate half the stuff that happens, especially the stuff with Leigh.

“You’ve just got to deal with it. I’ve had it in front of 50,000 people. You just have to try to win the game.
“Last night Leigh scored the goal and people don’t like him because that’s what he does.
“You got to take that in a positive way too. You need to think there’s a reason why they don’t like you.”
