Man City's Celtic loanee Guidetti in hot water over Rangers chants

Celtic's John Guidetti has been charged by the Scottish FA for alleged abuse towards Old Firm rivals Rangers.

?The Swedish striker, who is on loan from Manchester City, gave an interview with Dutch TV show FC Rijnmond where he sung a chant about the Ibrox club who have suffered in recent years due to financial troubles.

?The Scottish FA have stated that Guidetti's words were offensive and he will now have to answer for his actions.

?SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan has accused Guidetti, 22, of breaching disciplinary rule 73, stating that "on or around March 6, 2015, you did in the course of a interview given to the Dutch Television Programme FC Rijnmond, make comment of an offensive nature."

?Celtic have indicated that they will look to contend the charge handed down by the SFA.

?"We are very surprised and disappointed that this has even found its way to an SFA judicial panel," said a club spokesman.

?"John Guidetti will be defending this charge."?
