Oh FFS. Just when he was starting to string together some decent performances...

It is to the SFA.

[stewarty 2,025]

This really is the height of stupidity. If he's guilty, and if its a sackable offence... the writing is on the wall for him.

STV are reporting a player can be fined, suspended or expelled if found guilty.

 

I would argue it is a big deal.

[chilledbear 16]

He's an idiot.
