Scott Brown could be free to play Rangers at Ibrox after all as the SFA have moved his hearing.

The Celtic captain is up on the petty charge of failing to act in the best interests of Scottish football.

Brown celebrated after the recent victory over his fierce rivals and is now being brought in front of the SFA.

His old hearing date meant he could have missed the Gers tie, but now he as every chance to play.

Scott Brown may face Rangers at Ibrox

The 33-year-old loves a derby and could have missed the next one had the old date stuck.

He was originally supposed to face the charge on May 2nd but this has been moved up to April 26th.

If found guilty, he will miss the matches against Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.

Then, he will be free to go to Ibrox and play on his first game back.

Gers players and fans have been playing the victim card from the last game despite getting two men sent off and another banned after a hearing.

Brown was involved in all three incidents where he was the victims of physical assault.

However, as Brown celebrated near the opposition fans at full-time, he will be called also.

Scott Brown charge is a piece of nonsense

The charge Broony face is as flawed as the SFA is towards acting on other important matters.

SFA rule 77 states: “A recognised football body, club, official, team official, other member of team staff, player, match official or other person under the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA shall, at all times, act in the best interests of Association Football.

“Furthermore such person or body shall not act in any manner which is improper or use any one, or a combination of, violent conduct, serious foul play, threatening, abusive, indecent or insulting words or behaviour.”

Celebrating a victory over your rivals doesn’t fall under any of that.

Other players haven’t faced bans for less than what Brown did that victorious Sunday afternoon.

The SFA should keep their own house in order and sort themselves out before producing nonsense charges.
