ian1964 10,415 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 CELTIC defender Glenn Loovens will discover the outcome of his protracted appeal against a one-match ban before his side's next match. SFA disciplinary beaks will convene a three-man panel to hear the former Cardiff defender's case on October 15 - two days before Celtic entertain Motherwell. Loovens will miss the SPL clash with Well if he loses his fight to overturn the suspension imposed by the SFA for his clash with Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu last season. Loovens was punished after catching Edu with his studs on the back of the American's knee during Celtic's 1-0 defeat by Rangers on May 9. Referee Craig Thomson missed the incident but referred it to the SFA's review panel after watching television footage. The Holland international then received the ban from the SFA disciplinary committee in August but his challenge allowed him to play in the opening SPL match at Aberdeen and he has since been waiting for an appeal date to be set. Celtic assistant manager Mark Venus last month accused the SFA of lacking professionalism over the delay in organising the hearing. However, confirmation of the one-match ban may not affect Tony Mowbray's selection for the Motherwell game too much after the Celtic manager criticised his side's defending during yesterday's 2-1 defeat at Ibrox. Kenny Miller struck two goals for Rangers after Loovens twice failed to deal with simple forward balls. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,329 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 This is announced the day after the old firm game. Funny that. Yet more SFA capitulation to the forces of darkness. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I bet the ban is rescinded and he gets a suspended ban. Any takers? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
