Celtic striker Albian Ajeti has been cleared of diving to win a penalty against Kilmarnock.

The simulation charge against the Swiss striker was found ‘not proved’ during a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.

Ajeti went to ground after a challenge by Colin Doyle during his side’s 4-0 win over Kilmarnock last week and Celtic were awarded a spot-kick by referee Kevin Clancy.

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