Jozo Simunovic was sent off in a pre-season friendly abroad last summer the defender was banned for the first two games of the SPFL season as a result.
Tonight, another Scottish club suffered a red card on foreign soil during a friendly and we await the outcome from the SFA.
Celtic drew 0-0 with St Gallen’s last summer and Jozo got sent off in the tie. Inexplicably, the SFA punished the player. We’d like to think the same standard will be held this summer for any sendings off for any Scottish clubs playing friendlies.
Celtic and their Glasgow rivals are both playing in France and played inside Lyon’s stadium within hours of each other. An impressive 2-0 victory for last season’s runners up while Celtic drew 1-1 with Nice, even though they had a legitimate goal chopped off. No red cards though!
The bhoys will take on Lyon this weekend.
