Celtic star Albian Ajeti charged for 'dive' against Kilmarnock as captain Scott Brown learns his fate over Aaron Tshibola clash
Killie goalkeeper Colin Doyle was adjudged to have brought down the Swiss forward during the 4-0 win at Rugby Park, though replays showed there was minimal contact. Odsonne Edouard stepped up to dispatch the penalty and put Celtic into a 2-0 lead.
Three ex-referees have reviewed the footage and decided the 23-year-old deserves punishment for simulation. Celtic can appeal the decision before the fast-track hearing on February 8.
