The Scottish Football thread

We finished with a good season, Jackie Mac's Arab Army! Hope he stays and doesn't leave for the Sellik job but you never know with these things.

Motherwell to win the league next season!

I love that Hibs are joining Hearts in being relegated. Two great rival teams, both going down in the same fight. I dunno, just appeals to me as a story. Also means three of the four biggest clubs in Scotland will be in the 2nd-tier next season. Such a mindfuck.

My team finished bottom of League Two. Poor Queen's Park. I had a pound on them to win the league as well.

I had a long running Queens Park game on the SI forums.

Got them into the SPL, won the Europa league and hit the giddy heights of 2nd in the SPL.

Roy Keane, favourite for the Celtic job!

Why you should watch Scottish football this season.

Ross Country have sacked manager Derek Adams and his father George, who was director of football at the club. The Staggies are without a point after four league matches this season.

The Scottish Football Association has received referee Bobby Madden's report on Saturday's match between Celtic and Aberdeen, during which Aberdeen claim Shay Logan was racially abused.

Logan complained to Madden during the game that Celtic's Aleksandar Tonev had made a racist remark to him.

Celtic say that the Bulgarian winger insists the allegation is not true.

SFA compliance officer Vincent Lunny must now decide if there is sufficient evidence to issue a complaint.

The likelihood is he will have to try to gather further evidence and any complaint, should it come at all, would not be issued to Tonev until later this week.

The incident, said to have occurred early in the second half of the Premiership match at Celtic Park. will also have featured in Scottish Professional Football League delegate John Connelly's report.

Tonev and Logan were direct opponents for much of the match which Celtic won 2-1 .

Logan also told his captain Mark Reynolds about the alleged incident and he too had a word with Madden.

Tonev was making a belated debut for the Scottish champions having signed on loan from Aston Villa in the summer, though injury delayed his bow.

Fraser Wishart, chief executive of PFA Scotland, said it would be "inappropriate to comment at this time" because the incident could result in an investigation by the SFA.

No official complaint was made to police regarding the allegation against Tonev. However, following media reports, police are aware of the alleged incident and are making enquiries into the circumstances.

Will Scotland be sending back Berwick Rangers after this Thursday?

More importantly, will this end Celtic's 'well we could just join a better league' paddy they throw on occasion?

Celtic winger Aleksandar Tonev has been charged with racially abusing Aberdeen defender Shay Logan.

The 24-year-old Bulgarian, who is on loan from Aston Villa, has been called to a Scottish FA hearing on 9 October.

Tonev must answer a charge of "excessive misconduct by the use of offensive, insulting and abusive language of a racist nature".

The midfielder has until 26 September to respond to the governing body's notice of complaint.

Tonev and Logan were direct opponents for much of Saturday's match, which Celtic won 2-1.

Police are investigating a complaint that Celtic's Virgil van Dijk was subjected to racial abuse during his side's victory at St Mirren.

The Dutch defender reported an incident to police following Saturday's Scottish Premiership match , which Celtic won 2-1.

The 23-year-old acted after hearing chants from the crowd.

A police statement read: "Police Scotland has received a complaint from a Celtic player. We are liaising with both clubs and are analysing broadcast and CCTV footage. Inquiries are ongoing."

The complaint comes a week after Celtic's Bulgarian winger Aleksandar Tonev was charged by the SFA with racially abusing Aberdeen defender Shay Logan.

So Mike Ashley is now essentially in control of Rangers, with Derek Llambias expected to be named as the new chief executive.

This should be good...

[Lineker]

Celtic winger Aleksandar Tonev has been suspended for seven matches for using racist insults, the Scottish Football Association has announced. The on-loan Aston Villa midfielder was charged following an incident involving Aberdeen defender Shay Logan during a Scottish Premiership match last month.
