THE Scottish FA have set a new date for their continuing investigation of scenes at full-time during the last meeting of the Old Firm.
With the new season fast approaching, both Celtic and Rangers will find that they are still involved in problems from the last season. The disciplinary committee will meet on Monday, July 28, and the secretaries of both clubs have been told to attend.
The meeting had previously been scheduled for May, but Rangers secretary Campbell Ogilvie was unable to attend, and Celtic secretary Dominic Kean had by then left the club.
Celtic's Italian winger, Paolo Di Canio, was also reported by the referee, who mentioned the action of Rangers' players in celebrating at the end of the game.
Former Celtic manager Tommy Burns is due to appear at a meeting of the general purposes committee on Tuesday, July 8. Although he is now with Newcastle United, he faces SFA action following comments after an Old Firm game last January.
