Leigh Griffiths faces Celtic suspension sweat as SFA to decide if Sam Woods 'stamp' should be punished

Leigh Griffiths is facing a suspension sweat as he awaits the SFA’s response to his alleged stamp on Sam Woods.

The Celtic ace is expected to find out today if he’ll be carpeted for the flashpoint in Sunday’s 4-1 victory against Hamilton.

Griffiths got involved in a tangle with Woods early in the match before squaring up with Accies defender Alex Gogic.

The 29-year-old was yellow card – along with Gogic – but if waiting to discover if there will be further punishment.

Pundit James McFadden admitted he expects the beaks to act.

The former Motherwell and Scotland ace said: “I do think that the SFA will look at it because there’s an argument that the defender had a hold of his foot but I think he could have avoided the defender.

“So I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a look at it and potentially add to the punishment.

“I can see the referee being confused over whether Leigh could have got out of the way.

“I think he was very fortunate to stay on the pitch and as I said I think the SFA will look at it and probably look to add to the punishment as I said.”
