Celtic boss Gordon Strachan questioned the decision to yellow-card the Polish goalkeeper in the SPL match, saying: "I've recently seen people going into the crowd and not getting booked. Tell us the rules and I will tell the players."

But the SFA insist Brines acted properly, citing their rule that a player should be booked for making "gestures which are provocative, derisory or inflammatory or intended to incite or ridicule opponents or opposing spectators".

Brines said: "I clearly saw Mr Boruc make a number of gestures towards the home spectators, using his hands and arms in a fashion which could only be described as inflammatory, provoking hostile reaction from the terracings."
