Hide AdSteven Naismith faces an anxious wait to learn if he will be hauled before Hampden beaks for his stamp on Celtic winger Jonny Hayes. According to reports, the SFA are looking into the incident, which took place during the first half of Hearts’ 1-0 win over Celtic.
On-loan Norwich striker Naismith was seen to aim a kick at the Irishman after the pair had clashed earlier in the half and while referee John Beaton didn’t punish the 31-year-old, he could still be hit with an SFA ban. The governing body have until 3pm on Monday to issue a notice of complaint. (Daily Record)
