Celtic suffered a frustrating afternoon at Livingston, heightened by the incompetence of referee Kevin Clancy.
Midway through the first half Clancy watched Dolly Menga try to head-butt Ryan Christie, incredibly the match referee thought that a word of warning was suitable punishment.
Menga can expect to hear from the SFA Compliance Officer this week and miss his side’s visit to Ibrox in 13 days time.

“I thought that he should have been sent off, he was very fortunate to stay on in the modern world,” Brendan Rodgers told Sky Sports.
Clancy saw enough to call both players together, his assistant should have seen in clearly as well as he looked across the goalmouth.
Menga was involved in a similar incident later in the half but remained on the park.
Had Livingston been reduced to 10 men after 25 minutes it’s likely that there would have been a different outcome to the game.
The point took Celtic into top spot in the Premiership, ahead of Hearts on goal difference.
