The Scottish Football Association has confirmed they are investigating claims Celtic's Aleksandar Tonev racially abused another player.

The Bulgarian is accused of making a racist comment towards Aberdeen's Shay Logan in their Scottish Premiership match on Saturday.

Tonev denies the claims and the issue is now in the hands of the Scottish FA's compliance officer Vincent Lunny, who will determine whether there is enough to proceed with the investigation.

The 2 - 1 win over Aberdeen was Tonev's SPL debut for Celtic after a loan move from Aston Villa.
