McKay censured for "typical foreigner" remark

Published 3rd Sep 2015

St Johnstone’s Brad McKay’s been censured by the SFA for remarks made about Hearts striker Juanma.

The defender was angered by the Spanish forward during a league game at Tynecastle on the opening day of the season and accused his opponent of play acting.

McKay said following the match : “He's a typical foreigner, he gets touched and goes down. He was holding the back of his head and rolling about the place.

He'll win penalties and free-kicks in dangerous areas but I don't think he can keep that up.

The Hearts fans will get on his back as well. He did well with a couple of their goals but I don't think they appreciate going down so easily. I don't think anyone does in Scotland."

The SFA then issued a notice of complaint against McKay for breaching disciplinary rule 73 by "making comments of an offensive nature."
