Leigh Griffiths charged by the Scottish FA
The Dundee striker was also charged by police after kicking a flare into the stand against St Johnstone
Leigh Griffiths has been charged by the Scottish FA following last week's match between Dundee and St Johnstone.
The striker will face three charges from the governing body of bringing the game into disrepute, failing to act in the best interests of association football and excessive misconduct.
The 31-year old has already been handed a police charged by the police of ‘culpable and reckless conduct’ after kicking a flare into a stand housing away supporters.
A principal hearing date has been set for 14th October.
The on-loan Celtic forward apologised for his actions and says he didn't mean to direct the smoke bomb towards the stand.
He said: “It was regrettable that the pyrotechnic ended up back in the stand as my intention was just to remove it from the pitch.
“Having just lost a goal I was eager to get the match restarted as quickly as possible and I would like to apologise for any distress caused by this action.”
