Celtic winger Aleksandar Tonev loses seven-match ban appeal

By , Rugby Editor
The SFA upholds Celtic winger Aleksandar Tonev's seven-match ban for racially abusing an opponent.

Celtic winger Aleksandar Tonev has lost an appeal against his seven-match ban for using racist language.

The 24-year-old was charged by the Scottish Football Association after it was alleged that he racially abused Aberdeen defender Shay Logan during a match on September 13.

Tonev, who has already served one game of the suspension, will now miss his team's next six matches.

The Bulgarian is currently on loan at the Scottish champions from Premier League side Aston Villa.

Celtic continue the defence of their Scottish Premiership title on Sunday when they make the trip to Dundee United.
