The Hoops beat the Ibrox side 2-1 at Parkhead last time out and Brown celebrated in front of the Glasgow Rangers support.
The Scottish Football Association has announced that Celtic captain Scott Brown will not be punished for his celebrations after the Old Firm game against Ibrox rivals Glasgow Rangers on 31 March.
Brown was accused of “failing to act in the best interests of Scottish football” after he celebrated the Hoops 2-1 win at Parkhead in front of the Rangers support, and faced a potential two-match ban if found guilty.
The 33-year-old was initially set to have his SFA disciplinary hearing on Thursday 2 May but the date of the hearing was subsequently changed to Friday 26 April following a request by the Hoops.
The deliberation, which is reported to have lasted several hours at Hampden Park, centred mainly around a gesture made by Brown after the final whistle and whether it was directed at Rangers fans.
Brown was also involved in incidents that led to red cards for Alfredo Morelos, Andy Halliday and, retrospectively, Ryan Kent, while Rangers manager Steven Gerrard was also given a one-game touchline ban.
The Celtic skipper will now be available for the club’s next two games against Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, with Rangers at Ibrox coming up after that.
Here is how some of the Bhoys faithful reacted to the news:

Both Celtic and Rangers will find out on 2 May if they are to be punished for the mass confrontation at the end of the game.
