Ryan Kent seems certain to be offered a two match suspension from the SFA Compliance Officer.

The on-loan Liverpool winger scored the 63rd minute equaliser in the Glasgow derby but was involved in one of the many flash-points as Celtic regained the lead in the 86th minute.

As the teams prepared to restart the match he punched out at Scott Brown, amazingly none of the four match officials noticed the incident which happened with the Celtic skipper in control of the ball. Below is a picture from The Sun.

While Sky Sports were playing a re-run of James Forrest’s goal Andy Walker interrupted to describe the punch from Kent.

A camera from behind the goal replayed the incident with referee Bobby Madden running across in the background. Madden then went to the touchline to speak to Neil Lennon but resumed the match with Kent still on the park.

Alfredo Morelos was sent off after 31 minutes for elbowing Brown off the ball with the incident apparently witnessed by the assistant referee.
