Celtic striker Albian Ajeti has been charged with simulation by the Scottish FA.

The forward went to ground after a challenge by Colin Doyle during his side’s 4-0 win over Kilmarnock on Tuesday night and Celtic were awarded by referee Kevin Clancy.

Odsonne Edouard scored from the spot for his side’s second goal of the night, though Doyle protested his innocence.

The incident has now been reviewed by the SFA’s compliance officer and Ajeti and Celtic now have the choice between accepting a two-match suspension or arguing their case at a hearing on Monday February 8.
