Brown: I would have been given six-game ban for Davies's tackle
Celtic's Scott Brown rolls on the floor after being challenged by Ross County's Andrew Davies

CELTIC skipper Scott Brown said today that he would have been handed an extended ban had he made the same challenge Andrew Davies put in on him last week.

The Ross County captain was sent off in the first half of the Hoops’ 3-0 Premiership win at Parkhead on Saturday.

Davies lunged at the Celtic midfielder, who had stumbled to the ground under a tackle by Billy McKay, and will serve the statutory two-match suspension.
