McLeish hits out over ban on Novo

RANGERS manager Alex McLeish yesterday hit out at the punishment handed out to Nacho Novo by the Scottish FA.

Novo and Celtic striker Henri Camara were both given one-match bans which take immediate effect, as well as 12 penalty points each, for separate incidents in the last Old Firm game on November 20.

Both players were found guilty of violent conduct by the SFA’s disciplinary committee after TV pictures showed Camara kicking on-loan Liverpool defender Gregory Vignal and Novo stamping on Stephen Pearson’s neck.
