The Scottish Football Association are considering disciplinary action against Rangers striker Nacho Novo over his behaviour following the Ibrox club's 1-0 defeat by Aberdeen.

Novo, who is at the centre of a police investigation over an incident following the Scottish Premier League match, could face an SFA improper conduct charge.

The 30-year-old was pictured with his shorts lowered beneath his buttocks, but it is an alleged finger gesture that is more likely to land him with an SFA charge.

The SFA will convene a review panel if they decide the evidence warrants formal disciplinary procedures.

Grampian Police are continuing their probe into the incident.

Chief Inspector George MacDonald said: “Our enquiries with members of the public are being progressed at the moment.

“Once they have been completed and any relevant evidence gathered, we will then be in touch with both clubs involved to make an assessment on how to progress the investigation.”
