The Scottish FA's compliance officer will review footage of flares being thrown, as well as accusations of offensive singing, during Celtic's Scottish Cup tie with Stranraer.

The start of the match at Stair Park was briefly delayed due to objects being thrown onto the playing surface, with players forced to wait in the tunnel.

Tony McGlennan will now review any evidence available to him before deciding how to proceed.

The Scottish FA's rules on unacceptable conduct open up potential sanctions against both clubs, even though the accusations are directed at the behaviour of the Celtic support.

It is unlikely a case would immediately be opened, with the matter not needing to be dealt with under the governing body's fast track system.

McGlennan also has the option to write to the clubs involved to seek further evidence or explanation.

A double from Leigh Griffiths and a goal from Carlton Cole saw Celtic secure their place in the next round of the competition.

The Scottish FA's definition of unacceptable conduct is broad and would apply to the use of pyrotechnics and offensive signing.

Their articles of association define unacceptable conduct as meaning violent conduct and/or disorderly Conduct as the context so requires.

Instances of charges being brought by the Scottish FA with regards to unacceptable conduct are rare.

The most recent case came in July 2012 when Celtic were accused of four rule breaches relating to the display of an offensive banner at a friendly match with Norwich City.

The club were found not guilty on all four counts.
