Referring to an incident between Brown and Malta defender Steve Borg, the bookmaker tweeted on Tuesday: “Malta defender Steven Borg has called Scott Brown a ‘horrible b*****d’ after a spitting row.
“Echoing the thoughts of everyone in football.”
However, it was actually Brown who accused Borg of spitting on him during Scotland’s 2-0 win over Malta on Monday night.

The Scotland captain said after the game: “[Borg] did spit on me, he is a horrible b*****d.
“He put his hand up to apologise but I managed to keep my head. He is a horrible b*****d but the main thing was getting the three points.”
Some Celtic fans have already stated that they will now boycott Coral and place their bets elsewhere as a result of the error.
