Candid Camara 'kicked' opponent

Celtic striker Henri Camara has confessed to kicking Rangers defender Gregory Vignal in the unsavoury Old Firm clash.

The Scottish Football Association have referred the incident to their disciplinary committee but the Senegal international has come clean over the flashpoint.

The crime went unpunished by referee Kenny Clark but Camara, on loan from Wolves, insisted he did it as retribution for an early foul.

He said: “My right ankle was injured during the match at Ibrox.

“The Rangers player tackled me from behind and stamped on my foot which reignited the pain.

“That made me really irritated and I gave him a kick.

“The boss understood this and he substituted me to stop me from getting a red card.

“I was able to play against Barcelona but I was not 100%.

“I suffer with an ankle injury and often have to bandage it just to play.”
