pete 2,499 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Celtic striker John Guidetti has been charged by the Scottish Football Association with singing an allegedly "offensive" song about the demise of Old Firm rivals Rangers. The on-loan Manchester City hitman has been issued with a notice of complaint after giving an interview to Dutch TV show FC Rijnmond. In it, he repeats a chant sung about him by the Hoops support which includes terms deemed to be offensive. SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan has accused the 22-year-old Swede of breaching disciplinary rule 73, stating that "on or around March 6, 2015, you did in the course of a interview given to the Dutch Television Programme FC Rijnmond, make comment of an offensive nature". Guidetti has until 3pm on Monday, March 30, to respond to the complaint. A principal hearing date has been set for Thursday April 9. A Celtic spokesman responded to the charge by saying: "We are very surprised and disappointed that this has even found its way to an SFA judicial panel. John Guidetti will be defending this charge." What is good for the goose is good for the gander I suppose. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca72 440 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Can't that club ever accept any decision from the authorities? Don't they realise that there are other people in the game with an opinion too? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,679 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 What about the police? Maybe because it took place outside of Scotland they can't get involved? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
