Celtic captain Scott Brown branded as 'immature' by former Hoops favourite Andy Walker

 

SKY SPORTS pundit Walker reckons his comments about Hearts star Jamie Walker could come back to haunt him.

 

ANDY WALKER has branded Scott Brown’s jibe at Jamie Walker as "immature and thoughtless".

 

Former Celtic hero Walker has hit out at the Celtic captain after he labelled the Hearts winger a "cheat" on Sunday.

 

Brown made the comment when insisting that Walker dived to win a penalty as Celtic began the Premiership campaign with a narrow 2-1 victory at Tynecastle on Sunday.

 

Even though Scotland skipper Brown was proved right after the Scottish FA compliance officer Tony McGlennan’s decision to mete out a two-game ban for simulation was upheld, Sky Sports pundit Walker reckons his comments could come back to haunt him.

 

He said: “I can pretty much guarantee that Walker's manager (Robbie Neilson) and team-mates shook his hand at half time knowing that they were now in a level game.

 

“Equally, they will be horrified later in the season if they are on the wrong end of a dubious foul or penalty that results in lost points.

 

“That's why Brown's comments were immature and thoughtless. Adopting the moral high ground is a dangerous stance to take on incidents like this.

 

“Will Brown label a Celtic or Scotland team-mate a cheat when one of them is guilty of a debatable foul/penalty later in the season?

 

“It was left to Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers to bring a more calm and measured response to the incident when he chose to praise the referee for admitting his mistake.

 

“Having previously worked with Luis Suarez, he will realise that footballers can get the benefit of certain decisions with clever play that others in the game find infuriating.”

Still await SFA action on Brown calling Walker a cheat. Surprised Ann Budge hasn't waded into this yet.

Latest yahoo Compliance Officer McGlennan is just the same as Lunny by the looks of things

It took them one match to hit the ground running. Honestly, I fear for Barton's safety at the Scumhut and wonder what the Legoeater will do to him before Barton (sic!) gets his marching orders ...

I can't believe the lego-muncher hasn't beencalled up before the SFA for calling a fellow professional a cheat.
