Celtic's Boerrigter accepts diving ban
Posted Tuesday, August 19, 2014 by AFP
Glasgow (AFP) - Celtic winger Derk Boerrigter on Monday accepted a two-match ban for diving.
Boerrigter was handed the punishment after the Scottish Football Association's compliance officer accused him of simulation over the penalty that put Celtic 2-0 up against St Johnstone last week.
The SFA has now confirmed that Celtic and their player will not challenge the ban.
Boerrigter went down following a delay after being brushed by St Johnstone defender Dave Mackay, who was shown a straight red card by referee John Beaton.
Nir Biton converted before Celtic wrapped up a 3-0 Scottish Premiership win.
St Johnstone appealed against that decision and Mackay now looks likely to be cleared at a hearing on Thursday.
Boerrigter will miss Celtic's league games against Inverness and Dundee but will be available to play Maribor in the Champions League this week.
