CELTIC have branded Jon Flanagan’s Old Firm appeal win “a huge embarrassment” for the Scottish game.
The Rangers defender was charged by the SFA compliance office Claire Whyte for decking Scott Brown at Ibrox last weekend
Ref Kevin Clancy booked Flanagan for elbowing the Celtic skipper during the first half of Gers’ Old Firm win.
But three former refs reviewed footage and all agreed the Ibrox defender should have been sent off by the whistler.
Flanagan faced a two-match ban but an independent panel cleared him at Hampden today – leaving the Hoops amazed.
A Celtic spokesperson said: “The whole matter is a huge embarrassment for Scottish football.”
