Glasgow Rangers’ Jon Flanagan has been charged for his elbow on Celtic skipper Scott Brown at Ibrox.
Rangers’ Jon Flanagan is facing a retrospective ban after his apparent elbow on Celtic midfielder Scott Brown on Sunday.
Referee Kevin Clancy booked the Rangers defender for the incident which left Brown on the ground.
But a three-person panel has determined that Clancy should have sent off Flanagan against Celtic.
There will be a hearing on Thursday if Flanagan contests the charge. Otherwise the Gers ace is facing a two-match ban.

If Flanagan is banned, it’ll be the second retrospective suspension handed down to one of Steven Gerrard’s players in the aftermath of an Old Firm, with Ryan Kent punished for a similar offence against Brown during a 2-1 Celtic win in late March.
