Scottish chiefs hope Boruc gets message

SCOTTISH Football Association president George Peat hopes the very fact Artur Boruc was yesterday found guilty of improper conduct — rather than the amount he was fined — will act as a deterrent to the Celtic goalkeeper in future.

Boruc received a £500 (€627) fine and a severe reprimand after being photographed making one-fingered gestures to Rangers fans during the last Old Firm derby on August 31.

And while he was censured and warned about his future conduct at yesterday’s SFA disciplinary commission, such a mild financial penalty is bound to raise a few eyebrows.
