Aberdeen have made a complaint which accuses Celtic player Alexander Tonev(never heard of him to be honest) of a racial slur directed at Aberdeen defender Shay Logan in yesterday's game.

Not surprised

I blame the club.

It's 'ra Sellik way'.

The Eastern Europeans are racist fuckers on the whole.

The mhanks are truly a team of mongrels.

Don't think there will be much harmony in that dressing room.

I have never wanted to draw the bastards so much in a cup competition!

Was it anti Irish? Wouldn't that be a delicious irony?

It's beggars so I expect the big brush to come out .sweep sweep

Lets face it, Sellic and moral standards should never be in the same sentence.

Im sure anti-racism campaigner and ex-selt Paul Elliot will condemn them in the strongest terms.

Would be amazed to see it in any of the papers tomorrow tbh

Any idea about exactly he is supposed to have said?

[sandyinroyalblue 16,478]

Both players and both managers are likely to be contacted by the SFA Disciplinary Department, as will referee Madden.

However, an SFA insider suggested it will be almost impossible to substantiate Logan’s claims.

He said: “Right now, it is one player’s word against another player’s word. Unless it was overheard by another player – or somehow captured on TV pictures – then it makes it very difficult to take the matter any further.

First Griffiths, now this Tonev guy.

How many Celtic players are going to get away with racism before the authorities take the appropriate action?

Alleged to have called someone a 'black c*nt'.

Nothing to see here, just having the craik, move along, move along.

It would, but more than that, it would shatter an element of their faux Irish identity, as many of them have been growing disillusioned with their club for political and financial reasons. So it could lead to a further reduction in their support which is nice.

Don't forget Malky Mackay, one of their ex-players.

Also, from way before the Mark Walters affair, they had a record for it, and Diouff, Darchevile, Cousin and Edu got racial abuse.

For "SFA insider", read Peter Lawwell or one of his stooges, including Regan.

Oh, and at least the BBC are reporting it.

That'll be handy for the YES protesters to put away the blue and white YES stuff in order to unveil their whoops in protest against BBC reporting news.

Thanks. We'll see what happens....

Don't forget Riordan!

When Suarez racially abused Evra was it almost impossible to substantiate Evra's claims?

Who cares? Most of us on here have done the same.

I very much doubt it.
