Celtic and Hamilton to face SFA charge over player flare-up

Hamilton and Celtic are set to be charged by the SFA over a weekend bust-up.

The Premiership sides face a Hampden hearing on February 20 following a confrontation during the Hoops' 4-1 win.

Players from both teams clashed early in the first-half after a tangle between Leigh Griffiths and Sam Woods.

The Celtic star was later cleared by the governing body amid accusations he "stamped" on the Accies defender.

Griffiths was confronted by Alex Gogic which led to several players becoming involved.

The pair were the only players to be booked by referee Nick Walsh in the aftermath.

Accies' Jamie Hamilton was then shown a straight red card for a last man foul on Griffiths minutes later.

The incident falls under SFA disciplinary rule 204, which demands clubs, staff and players conduct themselves in an orderly fashion during and after fixtures.

If found guilty, the Celtic and Accies face a fine ranging from £2,500 to £20,000.
