St Johnstone defender Brad McKay could face disciplinary action after SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan decided to look into the player’s “typical foreigner” remark.
Speaking in the aftermath of Sunday’s 4-3 defeat to former club Hearts, McKay was referring to striker Juanma when he claimed that the Spaniard went down too easily throughout their Premiership opener.
It was McKay’s slip after four minutes that allowed Juanma to give Robbie Neilson’s side the lead at Tynecastle.
McKay, who moved to the Perth outfit from Hearts earlier this summer, said: “He’s a typical foreigner – he gets touched and he goes down.”
Compliance officer McGlennan is aware of what McKay is credited with saying and it is understood he could still take action, as such a case falls outside the parameters of the fast-track process.
McGlennan would have to write to McKay in the first instance before deciding whether to issue any notice of complaint.
